In short: The WhiteLab menopause rapid test is used for the qualitative detection of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in urine. It helps you assess whether the changes you are experiencing may be related to menopause. Test stick (midstream) format; the result can be read in 3 minutes.

• Sample: urine
• Format: test stick (midstream) that can be held directly in the urine stream

What to Know About the Result

FSH levels typically rise as menopause approaches, but they can also fluctuate during the cycle, so a single measurement only gives preliminary information. Discuss the result and the next steps with your gynecologist or family doctor.

Who Is It For?

For women who are experiencing changes typical of perimenopause, such as hot flashes, an irregular menstrual cycle, sleep problems, mood swings or tiredness, and want to know whether these may be related to menopause. The test is simple and quick to use. It is a good idea to write down the result and mention it, together with the changes you have noticed, at your medical examination.

Why a Home Rapid Test?

The test can be done discreetly in your own home, without an appointment, and gives a result within minutes. This makes it easier to decide whether you should see a doctor, and you can take the result with you to the consultation. It is especially useful if you find it hard to make time for an appointment at a doctor's office or are looking for a more discreet option.

Use and Storage

Please follow the instructions for use in the package exactly, especially the steps on sample collection and reading time, as following them affects the result. Read the instructions all the way through before collecting the sample, and have a clock or timer ready so you keep to the reading time. Keep the test in its original, unopened packaging until use.

Important Information

The rapid test gives a preliminary, informational result: it does not provide a diagnosis and does not replace a medical examination. If the result is positive or uncertain, or if your symptoms persist despite a negative result, see a doctor, who will decide on any further tests.
