Apollo Menopausal Profile

Doctors suggest the Menopausal Profile Test for a complete evaluation of a woman’s health during the menopausal transition. Women over the age of 40 or those showing symptoms of perimenopause, including irregular periods, hot flashes, mood changes, or disturbed sleep, should take this package. It will help them identify hormonal imbalances or potential health risks at an earlier stage, leading to better treatment outcomes.

Unlike standalone tests, the Apollo Menopausal Profile test package is a cost-effective way to detect all the potential issues that arise with perimenopause. This makes way for a comprehensive diagnosis, enabling doctors to provide personalised treatment plans.     

Which Tests Are Included In the Apollo Menopausal Profile Test?

The tests included in the Apollo Menopausal test package are mentioned below:

• Calcium Test: Evaluates calcium levels to assess bone health and osteoporosis risk. Low levels can lead to brittle bones and fractures.
• Lipid Profile Test: Measures cholesterol and triglycerides to detect heart disease risk. Menopause-related changes can impact lipid metabolism.
• Phosphorus, Inorganic - Serum: Checks phosphorus levels, which work with calcium for bone strength. Imbalances may indicate metabolic or hormonal issues.
• FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) Test: Measures follicle-stimulating hormone to determine menopause status. High levels indicate declining ovarian function.
• Estradiol (E2) Test: Assesses oestrogen levels affecting bone, skin, and reproductive health. Low levels contribute to menopause symptoms.
• AMH (Anti Mullerian Hormone) Test: Evaluates ovarian reserve and fertility potential during perimenopause. Helps women understand reproductive health options.
• Thyroid Profile (T3, T4, TSH) Test: Identifies thyroid imbalances that mimic menopause symptoms. Ensures accurate diagnosis of hormonal changes.
   

Who Should Get the Apollo Menopausal Profile Test?

• Individuals belonging to the following groups should consider opting for the Apollo Menopausal Profile test: 
• Women Over 40: Middle-aged women in their 40s and late 40s may experience perimenopausal symptoms. Testing can help detect hormonal fluctuations sooner.
• Women Who Have Irregular Menstrual Cycles: People having irregular periods, excessive bleeding, or missed cycles can benefit from this test to check for hormonal imbalance or any underlying issues.
• Women With Menopausal Symptoms: Hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings and disturbed sleep are common during menopause. Testing can help clarify whether these symptoms are linked to hormonal fluctuations.
• Post-hysterectomy Women: Such individuals may experience abrupt menopause or hormonal imbalance. Thus, it is essential to monitor hormone levels to manage their health effectively.
• Women With a Family History of Hormonal Disorders: Regular tests can help them know about their health risks and take necessary steps to manage them if they have a family history of hormonal disorders like osteoporosis or cardiovascular diseases.
• Women Who Are Trying to Conceive: For women over 40 or with fertility challenges, hormonal levels can help determine when to intervene with any hormonal therapies to improve their chances of conception.
• Cancer Treatment Patients: Women who have had a history of uterine or ovarian cancers and have undergone radiation therapy must pay close attention to their hormonal health after the treatment.
• Women With Symptoms of Osteoporosis: Women who have experienced bone density loss or fractures should be tested since menopause dramatically affects bone health when estrogen decreases.
