Perimenopause Hormone Panels

Meaning

Perimenopause hormone panels are a specific battery of clinical laboratory tests designed to measure the fluctuating and often erratic concentrations of key reproductive hormones during the transitional period leading up to menopause. These panels typically include Estradiol (E2), Progesterone, Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), and Luteinizing Hormone (LH), and sometimes Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) to assess ovarian reserve. The data from these panels provides an objective assessment of the patient’s hormonal status, aiding in the diagnosis of perimenopause and guiding personalized symptom management. Understanding these dynamic shifts is crucial for managing the complex clinical presentation of this phase.
