In many situations blood tests are not required in order to provide menopause treatment. However, there are certain situations where you might benefit from having further tests. Any tests you require will be discussed and agreed with you during your consultation.
We partner with Nationwide Pathology to conduct blood tests. Please note, this is a third-party company to Your Menopause Doctor. If you require tests Dr Jayne Forrester-Paton will guide you through the process.
Please see below for indicative costs and popular blood tests. Individual and bespoke panels of tests can be arranged depending on your needs.
