A member asked:

How reliable is a blood test for menopause hormone levels?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Clinical diagnosis: Menopause is a clinical diagnosis supported by lab tests in a limited manner. The blood tests are reliable for what they test for but interpretation of the results requires the expertise of a physician.
