Start with the right question
Menopause is generally established retrospectively after twelve months without menstruation when other causes are excluded. Postmenopause is the period afterwards. Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT, often called HRT) is a medical treatment discussed individually with a clinician.
What we consider in context
- Symptoms, sleep, cycle history and current treatment
- Cardiovascular, bone-health and lifestyle context
- Targeted testing only for an appropriate clinical or practical question
What one result cannot tell you
Health Cartel does not prescribe HRT or recommend hormone doses. Blood tests are not routinely needed to establish menopause; discuss treatment options with a clinician.
We can help you understand your results alongside your goals, lifestyle and existing medical context.
