There is a strong connection between FSH levels and menopause. Monitoring FSH levels gives women the opportunity to know when follicle-stimulating hormones are beginning to rise. An increase in the level of FSH is a sign of the onset of menopause. An early detection of menopause can provide women with a sense of control, and empower them to take a more proactive approach to countering the effects of menopause.
High FSH levels and menopause are connected, due to low estrogen levels causing the follicle-stimulating hormone to be secreted from the pituitary gland. Low estrogen levels are associated with menopause and many women aren’t aware that levels of estrogen are dropping until the signs are severe. Symptoms of low estrogen can be both physical and emotional. Being able to recognize a reduction in estrogen can help women to be more prepared for the often drastic changes associated with it.
A non-invasive and cost-effective alternative to conventional blood analysis
The result from each FSH test is available in just 3 minutes, with an accuracy of 99%. Many self-tests for low estrogen levels cannot determine if the onset of menopause is occurring, whereas a Rapid Response FSH test can. The Rapid Response Urine Menopause FSH Test also doesn’t react with LH, TSH, and HCG, which are other hormones within the body.
A specific age is not associated with menopause. Women of a wide variety of age ranges can begin going through menopause and many do not realize menopause has begun.
Younger women can benefit from FSH tests by being able to determine if the lack of menstruation is due to stress or menopause.
Older women who have few or no symptoms of menopause can use the Rapid Response test to check for high FSH levels. Knowing that FSH levels are high helps women of all ages monitor the onset of menopause.
Detecting changes in FSH levels and the onset of menopause has never been easier.
