3 biomarkers

The menopause/HRT panel measures oestrogen (oestradiol) for symptom relief and health, progesterone for uterine protection, and FSH to assess ovarian function in women. These help evaluate menopausal status and HRT effectiveness.

Sample collection: A small blood sample is taken (usually serum tube) by a finger-prick kit at home or in one of our UK clinics. Our kit includes everything needed; simply return the sample in the pre-paid envelope. Results include a personalised doctor’s interpretation.

Age restriction: Adults 18+ only (guardian consent required for minors).

Overview

A menopause/HRT panel tests hormones affected during menopause, when oestrogen levels decline. It checks for perimenopause or menopause and monitors HRT. Your doctor may order this if you have symptoms like hot flushes or to optimise HRT. The test helps manage symptoms by showing hormone levels. Swift Blood Tests processes samples rapidly, with results and a doctor’s report typically within a few days.

Key Test Components

Oestrogen (oestradiol)

main hormone for menopause symptoms; low levels indicate menopause.

Progesterone

balances oestrogen in HRT; levels confirm ovulation or menopausal status.

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

rises in menopause; high levels suggest ovarian insufficiency.

Sample Requirements

A venous blood sample is required (collected in a gold top gel tube). No special patient preparation is needed, but timing for HRT users (e.g., after application). Simply drink water and eat normally unless otherwise instructed. Send samples via the next-day laboratory service.

Clinical Uses

Diagnose menopause

High FSH and low oestrogen confirm status in younger women.

Monitor HRT

Check oestrogen absorption and progesterone balance.

Assess symptoms

Low hormones link to hot flushes, mood changes.

Guide contraception

FSH helps decide when to stop in older women.

Why You Might Need This Test

You may be advised to take a menopause/HRT panel if you have any of the following signs or risk factors: - Symptoms of menopause: hot flushes, night sweats, irregular periods, mood swings. - On HRT: to check effectiveness or absorption. - Early menopause concerns: in women under 45 with symptoms. - Family history or premature ovarian insufficiency risks. For example, a woman with hot flushes may have low oestrogen confirming menopause. Your doctor will interpret the results alongside your history and may order additional tests based on the findings.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Menopause/HRT Panel?

A menopause/HRT panel measures oestrogen, progesterone, and FSH to assess menopausal status and HRT response in women.

 It is often ordered for menopause symptoms or to monitor HRT effectiveness.

No special preparation is usually required, but note HRT timing.

A small blood sample is taken from a vein in your arm using a needle. It is quick (often under 5 minutes) and routine. You may feel a brief pinch; afterwards, a bandage is applied. There are minimal risks.

Risks are very low. You might experience slight pain or bruising at the needle site, which usually resolves quickly.

Results are typically available within 2–3 working days. Swift Blood Tests provides a detailed doctor’s report explaining your results. You will be notified by email or phone as agreed.

 Yes. Swift Blood Tests offers a convenient home sample collection kit (finger-prick or small tube) with instructions, or you can choose a clinic appointment. Follow the included instructions to collect and return the sample by post.

HRT use, menstrual phase, or medications can influence levels. It’s best to mention any current health conditions or medicines when you discuss results with the doctor.

An abnormal result does not always mean disease. For example, high FSH might indicate menopause, low oestrogen symptoms. Your doctor will interpret any out-of-range values and may recommend follow-up tests.

This test is intended for adults (18+). If testing is needed for a child or teenager, please consult with a paediatric specialist or contact us for guidance.
