For women in their mid to late 30s, the
"Ru25 Plus" FSH Menopause Test Kit
can also be used periodically to gauge whether
they have entered perimenopause and are
approaching the end of fertility.This FDA Cleared and CLIA Waived urine test
for perimenopause and menopause works by
measuring a specific hormone known as FSH
(Follicle Stimulating Hormone) that increases
in level as ovarian function decreases and as
women enter perimenopause and menopause.The "Ru25 Plus" FSH Menopause Test will
detect and give a positive result if a woman’s
FSH level is 25 mIU/ml or higher.TRADITIONAL MENOPAUSE TESTING:
An appointment is scheduled with your doctor.
Blood is drawn and sent to an outside lab for testing. Results are normally available 3 to 5 days later.
If the results of this blood test shows that your
FSH levels are elevated, it is standard medical
protocol to perform a second FSH test to confirm if
your FSH levels remain elevated. This means a
2nd trip for a 2nd blood draw, and more waiting.The "Ru25 Plus" FSH Menopause Test Kit is a "Home Two-Test System".
Two tests are provided to be performed 5 to 7 days apart from each other.
The two-test system determines if FSH levels are elevated..., and if they remain elevated.The term "menopause" is a long complex series of changes beginning with perimenopause (early menopause), symptoms such as irregular/heavy menstrual cycles, hot flashes, mood swings, insomnia and fatigue through the stopping of menstrual periods for a full twelve months (menopause) at which time a woman is then post-menopausal.
Menopause, sometimes called the "change of life", happens to all women with the average age being 51, but can occur as early as 40 or as late as 60. A small percent of women experience early menopause (premature menopause) or premature ovarian failure (POF) before the age of 40. The average age of POF is 27 years old. Other causes of menopause include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries). Surgeries such as hysterectomy and tubal ligation may cause menopause to occur earlier.
The symptoms of perimenopause (early menopause) may be hot flashes, irregular menstrual cycles, heavier or lighter bleeding during periods, interrupted sleep, mood swings and depression, short-term memory loss, unexplained fatigue, and vaginal dryness. Although menopause is a natural part of growing older, many women find their symptoms can interfere with their daily lives. These symptoms can be managed in consultation with your doctor. If you are concerned about the symptoms of menopause talk to your doctor about treatment.
Untreated menopause is known to cause the loss of bone calcium resulting in osteoporosis (brittle bones), increases in blood pressure, and changes in your blood vessel walls with increased risk of heart disease. Other effects such as emotional loss of well being, depression, incontinence and reduced sex drive can occur.
During the stages of perimenopause, changes take place in the balance of hormones that regulate and control your monthly menstrual cycle (period). This slow "change" in ovary function can happen between 2 to 10 years before your final menstrual cycle. As a woman grows older and passes out of the childbearing stage of life, her ovaries gradually make less of the hormone estrogen, while another hormone called FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) increases. FSH normally regulates the growth and development of an egg. The brain directs the body to increase production of FSH so an egg can mature. Once this part of the monthly cycle is complete, FSH production is stopped and it returns to normal. As the body ages, it produces less estrogen and more FSH. In other words, low estrogen levels are associated with high FSH levels. Over time these hormone changes cause your menstrual periods to stop completely. This permanent stopping of menstrual periods for 12 months is called "Menopause". Until the final menopause consisting of 12 months without a period, a woman is considered to be in perimenopause or pre-menopause, while a woman who has been 12 months without a period is considered "Post-menopausal". Until the final menopause consisting of 12 months without a period, a woman can still get pregnant even though the chances are diminished.
The "Ru25 Plus" FSH Home Menopause Test Kit gives every woman, in the privacy and convenience of her home, the control and power to easily measure and track hormone levels during the transition into mid-life. With correct answers about your hormone status, you can plan to protect your health.
