Mechanistic and observational studies suggest that sex hormones influence the gut: estrogen modulates motility, barrier function, and the microbiome. During menopause, declining estrogen is linked to altered bacterial profiles and increased intestinal permeability. However, a home menopause test is not a validated tool for assessing gut health. Accuracy is limited (capillary blood, lack of independent validation, see context). Moreover, no randomized controlled trials show that hormone optimization based on home tests improves gut health. The evidence is therefore 'mechanistic' to 'human-moderate'. For specific gut issues, established methods like stool analysis, breath tests, or endoscopy are more appropriate.
