Can Body-Balance Check | Testosteron-Test help with Wechseljahre?

The Body-Balance Check | Testosterone Test measures blood testosterone levels, which may be informative during menopause. In menopause, not only estrogen but also testosterone gradually declines – low levels are linked to reduced libido, energy, and muscle strength. However, evidence for routine testing in women is limited: reference ranges are inconsistent, and a single measurement does not reliably predict individual symptoms. Moreover, testosterone therapy for menopausal symptoms is not approved for all indications in Germany and should only be used under medical supervision. Therefore, the test can provide a rough orientation but does not replace comprehensive hormonal assessment or clinical advice. Without accompanying clinical evaluation, the test's utility for managing menopausal complaints remains unclear. Evidence: mixed – mechanistic and some clinical hints exist, but no strong recommendation for self-testing.
