What can the Menopause Check tell you — and what not?

The MyBody-X Menopause Check measures hormones such as FSH and estradiol, which typically change during menopause. It can provide a snapshot of whether levels fall in the peri- or postmenopausal range. However, menopause is a clinical diagnosis based on 12 months of amenorrhea and symptoms – not solely on a blood test. Hormonal fluctuations (especially in perimenopause) can lead to misclassification. The test does not replace a medical evaluation, particularly when symptoms are unclear or if hormone replacement therapy is being considered. Moreover, the provided context lacks specific studies or reference ranges for this test. The evidence is therefore rated as 'practice' (experiential knowledge), not clinically validated. Its value lies more in orientation than diagnosis. Caveat: If results are abnormal or symptoms persist, consult a doctor.
