Frequently asked questions
What does a menopause detection kit do?
A menopause detection kit is a home-based test kit that detects FSH or follicle-stimulating hormone levels in a woman's body to confirm if she is in menopause or perimenopause.
Do menopause detection kits work?
Yes, the Firm Menopause Detection Kit has been carefully designed to detect trace level fluctuations of FSH levels in the bloodstream and urine to confirm onset of menopause.
Is there a test to confirm menopause?
"While there is no definitive test to confirm menopause, most doctors and women can see tell-tale signs and symptoms like missed periods, breast pain, hot flashes and night sweats. Through blood or home-based menopause tests, the FSH levels in urine can help understand whether a woman is in perimenopause or not."
What is the best time to do a menopause test?
"If you have an irregular menstrual cycle, you can take the menopause test at any time. On the other hand, you can use the menopause test kit on the third day of your cycle (the third day of your period) to check the FSH levels in your body."
How does a menopause test kit detect onset of perimenopause?

At what age does menopause start?
"Perimenopause begins anywhere between the ages of 38-45. During this phase, women experience symptoms like hot flashes, irregular periods, mood swings, lethargy, bloating and breast pain. Menopause occurs between the ages of 50-55, however it can vary based on your health, genetics and other factors."
What are the signs and symptoms of menopause?
