Menopause Test London: A Comprehensive Guide to Private Specialist Care

Not on its own. Hormone tests can provide helpful information, but they cannot definitively diagnose perimenopause or menopause in all cases. Results need to be interpreted alongside your symptoms, menstrual history, and overall health by a specialist clinician.

No, not always. For many people, menopause is diagnosed clinically, based on symptoms and cycle history. Blood tests may be recommended in specific situations, such as early menopause, unclear symptoms, or when additional information would help guide treatment safely.

Blood tests may be recommended to:

• support clinical assessment when symptoms are unclear
• rule out other medical conditions with similar symptoms
• inform treatment decisions, including hormone therapy
• assess broader health factors that may affect menopause care

Your clinician will explain why a test is or is not helpful in your case.

Blood tests can sometimes be useful for women over 40 when symptoms are atypical, when periods have changed suddenly, or when there is uncertainty about the cause of symptoms. They may also be used to support treatment planning or review ongoing care.

Hormone testing for menopause is widely available, but results can be misleading if viewed in isolation. Specialist clinicians interpret results in context, taking into account symptom patterns, hormone fluctuations, medical history, and individual risk factors. This clinical interpretation is often what turns a test result into a clear and helpful plan.
