Is there a test for menopause?

Blood tests for the menopause are not particularly accurate as your hormone levels fluctuate throughout the day. If you have been experiencing menopause symptoms and are in the average age range (45-55) then it is possible you are on the way!

However, low iron levels, low thyroid function and low vitamin D levels can all cause similar symptoms, so it may be an idea to ask your doctor to test for these to rule them out.
