Is IgE Allergietest useful for Wechseljahre?

An IgE allergy test measures specific antibodies against allergens and is designed for diagnosing immediate-type allergies (e.g., pollen, foods). Menopause is a hormonal transition phase with symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood swings. There is no robust evidence that IgE tests help explain or treat these complaints. Some providers market IgE tests as a 'menopause check,' but this is not scientifically supported. Hormonal changes can affect histamine sensitivity, but an IgE test does not assess histamine intolerance or hormonal imbalances. For menopause symptoms, clinical hormone tests (estradiol, FSH) and medical guidance are appropriate. Therefore, this test is not useful for menopause. Evidence: marketing/unclear.
