Does fsh(follicle-stimulating hormone) fluctuate in women after menopause?

Dr. Ron Eaker answered

Somewhat: Fsh has an inverse relationship to estrogen, as estrogen goes down, FSH rises. It can have minor fluctuations after menopause but it generally remains elevated. This is one tool for assessing if a women is in menopause.
