EXPLANATION OF THE TEST Women’s healthcare has just changed forever.
Home-Menopause-Test.com is happy to
introduce the "Ru25 Plus", a FDA-Cleared
and CLIA waived home fsh menopause test
that empowers women to measure, track and plan the mid-life transition.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 measures the level of FSH in your first morning urine. Levels of FSH increase when estrogen levels decrease, indicating that a woman is in the stages of menopause. A positive test indicates the presence of FSH at a concentration over 25 IU/L (Note: Urine FSH levels correspond with blood/serum FSH levels).
How is the test used?
