Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Test. Although itâs rarely needed, your doctor may decide to do a blood test to check your hormone levels. Specifically, theyâll look at the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estrogen. During menopause, your FSH levels increase, and estrogen levels decrease.
Vaginal pH levels can also help confirm menopause. During reproductive years, vaginal pH is about 4.5. During menopause, pH rises to about 6. Your doctor can swab the vagina to test the pH levels. If youâre having menopausal symptoms and you or your doctor is unsure whether youâve begun menopause, your doctor may order tests to rule out other health problems such as ovarian failure or a thyroid condition.
