Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Test
The FSH test measures the level of follicle-stimulating hormone in the blood. A doctor will order an FSH test to monitor the reproductive system for things like menopause. FSH is a useful test for monitoring menopause because your FSH levels increase and estradiol levels decrease as menopause occurs.
This test measures the level of luteinizing hormone (LH) in your blood. LH plays an important role in sexual development and functioning. In women, LH helps control the menstrual cycle. It also triggers the release of an egg from the ovary. This test is often used to confirm the start of menopause, or perimenopause.
An estradiol test measures the amount of the hormone estradiol in your blood. It’s also called an E2 test. A test of your estradiol level can help your doctor determine if you’re preparing to enter menopause, or you’re already going through the transition.
