Diagnosing menopause primarily involves evaluating symptoms and menstrual history. Here’s a step-by-step approach:
1. Symptom Assessment: Discuss symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, irregular periods, and mood changes.
2. Menstrual History: Track the absence of menstrual periods for 12 consecutive months. Menopause is confirmed after this period.
3. Blood Tests: Although not always necessary, tests for follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estrogen levels can help confirm menopause.
4. Physical Exam: A general physical exam to rule out other potential causes of symptoms.
5. Vaginal pH Test: A swab test to check vaginal pH, which increases after menopause.
Most diagnoses are made based on clinical evaluation and symptom history. Consulting a healthcare provider is essential for accurate diagnosis and management.
