Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a menopause / perimenopause test?

A menopause or perimenopause test is a screening questionnaire that helps assess symptoms commonly associated with hormonal changes during the menopause transition. It identifies symptom patterns and supports decisions about seeking medical advice, but it does not diagnose menopause.

Who is this menopause assessment for?

This assessment is intended for:

Women aged 40 and over
Women experiencing physical, emotional, sleep, sexual, or cycle-related changes
Women who suspect perimenopause or menopause
Women who want structured insight before consulting a doctor

In cases of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), symptoms may appear earlier. If you are under 40 and concerned, results should be discussed with a healthcare professional.

What will I learn from my results?

You will receive:

A symptom severity range, from mild/non-specific to higher symptom burden
Context on whether your symptoms are commonly menopause-related
Guidance on whether medical consultation may be helpful
Direction toward the most relevant type of specialist based on your symptoms

How long does the menopause test take?

Most users complete the questionnaire in about 3 minutes.

Is this menopause test a diagnosis?

No. This assessment is not a diagnostic tool. Menopause is diagnosed clinically by a healthcare professional based on symptoms, age, menstrual history, and sometimes laboratory evaluation.

Can perimenopause start before age 45?

Yes. Many women begin experiencing perimenopause symptoms in their early or mid-40s, and sometimes earlier. Symptom onset and intensity vary widely, which is why medical evaluation is recommended when symptoms are significant or persistent.

What are the most common symptoms of perimenopause and menopause?

Common symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, fatigue, mood changes, anxiety, brain fog, joint or muscle pain, vaginal dryness, urinary symptoms, and changes in menstrual cycles. Not all women experience the same symptoms.

Can you have menopause symptoms while still having periods?

Yes. During perimenopause, hormonal fluctuations can cause symptoms even if periods are still regular or only slightly irregular. Symptoms can appear years before menstruation stops completely.

Why do hot flashes and night sweats happen?

Hot flashes and night sweats are linked to changes in estrogen that affect how the brain regulates body temperature. They are among the most common vasomotor symptoms of menopause.

Is sleep disturbance related to menopause?

Yes. Hormonal changes can disrupt sleep, causing difficulty falling asleep, frequent night awakenings, or early morning waking. Night sweats, anxiety, and mood changes often contribute.

Can menopause affect mood, anxiety, or concentration?

Yes. Many women experience anxiety, irritability, low mood, difficulty concentrating, or memory problems during perimenopause and menopause. These symptoms are common and usually manageable with appropriate support.

Does menopause affect sexual and urinary health?

Yes. Lower estrogen levels can lead to vaginal dryness, discomfort during intercourse, reduced sexual desire, and urinary symptoms such as urgency or frequency. These symptoms are very common and treatable.

When should I see a doctor about menopause symptoms?

You should consult a healthcare professional if symptoms are persistent, worsening, severe, or affecting your daily life, work, relationships, or sleep, or if you experience postmenopausal bleeding.

Which doctor should I see for menopause symptoms?

A gynecologist is usually the first specialist to consult. Depending on symptoms, you may also be referred to an endocrinologist, urogynecologist, urologist, psychologist, or psychiatrist.
