Do you know if menopause is over?
Blood tests can tell whether your ovaries are beyond menopause or not. These blood tests measure your levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH), proteins made by the brain that stimulate ovulation. If your ovaries are beyond menopause, they no longer respond to FSH and LH, and your brain reacts by sending out even more of these hormones. Blood tests indicating high levels of FSH and LH show your doctors your menopausal status. When you have a hysterectomy you go into surgically induced menopause your brain may react causing, hot flashes and night sweats as well as many other symptoms.
