Can CRP Entzündung help with menopause?

CRP (C-reactive protein) is a general inflammation marker, not a specific menopause test. During menopause, estrogen decline can increase systemic inflammation, potentially raising CRP levels. However, CRP cannot diagnose menopause or directly help with symptoms like hot flashes. Elevated CRP may indicate other inflammatory conditions (e.g., infection, autoimmune disease, obesity). Measuring CRP as part of a hormone panel (like the MyBody-X Menopause Check) provides only a supplementary hint about systemic inflammation, not a diagnosis or treatment guide. For menopause, specific hormones (FSH, estradiol) and clinical symptoms are key. Evidence: mechanistic – the link between CRP and menopause is biologically plausible but insufficiently validated to recommend CRP as a standalone marker. Safety note: Elevated CRP should be medically evaluated, especially regarding cardiovascular risk.
