Menopause & Perimenopause Assessment Test Panel

Menopause is a natural stage of life, but the hormonal changes leading up to it can affect every woman differently. Whether you're experiencing hot flashes, irregular periods, mood changes, sleep disturbances, or unexplained fatigue, the ICare Menopause & Perimenopause Assessment Test Panel provides a comprehensive evaluation of the hormones that influence reproductive health and the menopausal transition.

Perimenopause, the years leading up to menopause, can begin several years before menstrual periods stop completely. During this time, hormone levels fluctuate, making it difficult to determine whether symptoms are related to menopause or another underlying health condition. This advanced laboratory panel helps you and your healthcare provider better understand your hormonal status and develop a personalized plan to support your health and well-being.

With ICare's concierge mobile laboratory services, comprehensive hormone testing is delivered directly to your home, office, or preferred location.

What Does This Test Measure?

The Menopause & Perimenopause Assessment Test Panel evaluates key hormones involved in ovarian function and reproductive health.

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

FSH stimulates the ovaries to produce eggs and estrogen.

As ovarian function declines during menopause, FSH levels typically rise, making this one of the primary laboratory markers used when evaluating menopausal status.

Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

LH works alongside FSH to regulate ovulation and reproductive hormone production.

Changes in LH levels can provide additional insight into ovarian function and the menopausal transition.

Estradiol (Estrogen)

Estradiol is the primary form of estrogen during a woman's reproductive years.

Declining estrogen levels may contribute to symptoms such as:

Hot flashes
Night sweats
Vaginal dryness
Mood changes
Sleep disturbances
Bone loss
Progesterone

Progesterone helps regulate the menstrual cycle and supports reproductive health.

Levels often decline during perimenopause as ovulation becomes less frequent.

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

Because thyroid disorders can cause symptoms similar to menopause, TSH is often included to evaluate thyroid function and help rule out thyroid-related causes of fatigue, weight changes, mood changes, or menstrual irregularities.

Additional Hormone Testing

Depending on your healthcare provider's recommendations, your panel may also include:

Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) to assess ovarian reserve
Total or Free Testosterone
DHEA-S
Prolactin

These additional markers can provide a more comprehensive evaluation of hormonal health when clinically appropriate.
