So how does a woman know when she’s reached menopause?

Menopause is defined as the end of menstruation and confirmed medically after 12 consecutive months without a period. So let’s suppose the woman is in her mid-forties and hasn’t had her period for five months. This doesn’t necessarily mean the woman has reached menopause.

In order to confirm that this lack of menstruation is the result of the onset of menopause, doctors recommend a test to measure FSH (follicle stimulating hormone). If this simple blood test reveals high levels of FSH then the transition period into menopause may have begun.

There may also be the presence of irregular bleeding. Therefore it may also be helpful to measure serum estrogen levels, usually in the form of the dominant estrogen known as estradiol. In true menopause, this will be low.
