PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The menopause is caused by a modification of the hormonal balance in woman body. This change arises generally when close to 45 years old. But true signs are observed around 55 years old. A menstrual cycle duration getting irregular is the early indication of the beginning menopause (peri-menopause). The follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is an hormone which increases during menopause. MENO-CHECK® by PHARMA Southern Africa can detect the presence of FSH in urine as soon as the concentration goes up from 25 mIU/mL and over.
WHEN SHOULD THE TEST BE PERFORMED?
The test could be used at any time of the menstrual cycle.
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO IF THE RESULT IS POSITIVE?
If the result is positive with the first MENO-CHECK®, a second test should be performed 5 or 7 days later. If a positive result is again obtained with a second test, the FSH level was elevated over an unusual period and could therefore indicate you are under menopausal process. You should consult your gynaecologist to confirm the diagnosis of menopause.
INCLUDED IN KIT
The kit contains two MENO-CHECK® along with one leaflet.
Each test is packaged in a sealed aluminium pouch containing one desiccant sachet.
The device should remain in the sealed pouch until use.
Do not use the desiccant sachet.
HOW TO USE
- Remove the MENO-CHECK® device from the protective pouch by tearing along the split. Discard the small pouch of desiccant.
