A member asked:

How did my doctor know i was going through menopause by a blood test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Menopause: If the estrogen is low (or if your periods have stopped, or are irregular), the pituitary hormone (lh) that controls estrogen should be high. Your doc probably measured a level of lh.
