Home, cassette MENOPAUSE PRO TEST for self-determination of FSH concentration in urine

MENOPAUSE PRO TEST is a rapid test that detects FSH in urine at a concentration of 25 mlU/ml or higher. Performing the test is very simple and involves placing 3 drops of urine into the test window and reading the test result within 3 minutes. Menopause most often occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. During this time, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and LH and FSH levels increase. The test works by detecting elevated FSH levels in a woman's urine during the perimenopausal period. MENOPAUSE PRO TEST is a rapid cassette test for the qualitative detection of FSH in urine at a concentration of 25 mlU/ml or higher. The test is based on a specific antigen-antibody immunochemical reaction. Anti-FSH antibodies, applied to the test strip during production, react with the FSH hormone present in urine.

What is menopause?

Menopause refers to a woman's last menstrual period, followed by 12 consecutive menstrual cycles. This is a significant event in a woman's life, the date of which can only be determined after some time. Symptoms preceding the last period appear 2-3 years before and last several years after menopause. This entire period is called menopause or climacteric. In the period leading up to menopause and the 12 months after its onset (perimenopause), a significant number of women experience symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, dry skin, painful joints and bones, painful intercourse, recurrent urinary tract infections, episodes of urinary incontinence, insomnia, fatigue or depression, irritability, and decreased libido. During menopause, reproductive function declines – ovarian function ceases, which causes a decrease in the production of female sex hormones, primarily estrogen. At the same time, a woman's body increases the production of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). Determining FSH levels is helpful in diagnosing menopause. The MENOPAUSE PRO TEST is a rapid test that detects FSH in urine at a concentration of 25 mlU/ml or higher. Performing the test is very simple and involves placing three drops of urine into the test window and reading the test results within 3 minutes.

FAQ

HOW DOES THE MENOPAUSE TEST WORK?

Menopause most often occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. During this time, estrogen and progesterone production declines, and LH and FSH levels increase. The test works by detecting elevated levels of the FSH hormone in the urine of perimenopausal women. The MENOPAUSE TEST is a rapid strip test for the qualitative detection of FSH in urine at a concentration of 25 mlU/ml or higher. The test works on a specific antigen-antibody immunochemical reaction. Anti-FSH antibodies applied to the test strip during manufacturing react with the FSH hormone present in the urine.

CAY YOU BE SURE THAT THE MENOPAUSE TEST WILL OBTAIN RELIABLE RESULTS?

The appearance of the control line C on the test strip indicates that the test is working properly and was performed according to the instructions. If the control line C does not appear, the test should be repeated. For this purpose, you should use a new test, as each rapid test is intended for single use only.

DO THE MEDICINAL PRODUCTS AND OTHER MEDICAL SUPPLIERS YOU ARE USING AFFECT THE TEST RESULTS?

No, they do not. However, if you are taking any hormonal preparations, you should consult your doctor. Using hormonal oral contraception, breastfeeding, and pregnancy may affect the test results.

CAY I STOP HORMONAL CONTRACEPTION IF THE TEST RESULT IS POSITIVE?

No, because the test is not intended to determine fertile days. Contraception should be used until a positive menopause test result is confirmed by your doctor.

HOW SENSITIVE IS THE MENOPAUSE PRO TEST?

The test detects the FSH hormone in urine at a concentration of 25 mlU/ml or higher.

HOW ACCURATE IS THE MENOPAUSE TEST?

Clinical studies show that the test is 100% accurate. The study included 250 urine samples (85 positive and 165 negative). It has been shown that the presence of other hormones in urine does not affect the test result: LH (up to 1000 mlU/ml), hCG (up to 100 lU/ml) and TSH (up to 1000 μIU/ml).

DOES ALCOHOL AFFECT THE TEST RESULT?

No. Using hormonal contraception, breastfeeding and pregnancy may affect the test result.
