What are the tests for menopause?

After menopause, women often lose their psychological balance, causing many women to have a great psychological burden. If this continues, it will bring about a series of mental symptoms.

Therefore, if menopause occurs, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. So what examinations are needed for menopause? Let's see what gynecological disease experts say.

1. Pituitary menopause examination:

(1) Measure the PSH and LH levels in the blood: if they are higher than normal, it indicates ovarian dysfunction; if they are lower than normal, it indicates pituitary dysfunction or higher central nervous system dysfunction.

(2) Pituitary stimulation test: Generally, 15 to 30 minutes after taking the medicine, the LH value is 2 to 4 times higher than before taking the medicine, indicating that the pituitary function is good. If it does not increase or increases very little, it means that the disease may be in the pituitary.

2. Uterine menopause examination:

(1) Hysteroscopy: To understand the depth, width, and shape of the hysterectomy cavity, whether there are any deformities or adhesions, and to take samples of the endometrium to examine for pathological changes.

(2) Laparoscopic examination: Direct observation of the appearance of the uterus and gonads to exclude congenital developmental abnormalities and, if necessary, obtain an ovarian biopsy.

3. Ovarian menopause examination:
