Menopause and perimenopause can affect women in very different ways. Hot flushes, night sweats, poor sleep, low mood, anxiety, brain fog, fatigue, weight changes, joint aches, and irregular periods are all common — and can significantly affect day-to-day life. Understanding whether symptoms are hormonal, metabolic, or related to another health issue is an important first step toward effective treatment.

At Tamar Health we offer private menopause blood testing without a GP referral. Results are reviewed by a clinician and reported clearly. You are welcome to take your results to your own GP or to any menopause specialist — or to discuss them with our team.

Menopause Blood Testing

Two blood test options are available to book now. Both include professional phlebotomy, laboratory analysis, and a clinician review of results.

What the results can show

Hormone blood tests can provide objective evidence of where you are in the menopausal transition — and can help to explain symptoms including hot flushes, sleep disruption, mood changes, cycle irregularity, and changes in energy or libido. It is worth knowing that hormone levels fluctuate in perimenopause, so a single test is not always conclusive. Our clinicians will interpret your results in context and advise on whether repeat testing or further investigation is appropriate.

The wider menopause and wellbeing screen is particularly useful when symptoms are not fully explained by hormones alone. Thyroid disorders, iron deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, and changes in blood sugar control can all produce symptoms that overlap with perimenopause — and are treatable once identified.

Which option is right for you?

• Menopause Hormone Blood Test (£100) — a good starting point if you want a hormonal overview, are monitoring known perimenopause, or are already under a specialist and need updated hormone levels.
• Menopause & Wellbeing Screen (£199) — recommended if symptoms are significant, varied, or affecting quality of life, or if you are seeing (or planning to see) any other professional about your menopause. The complete panel means nothing is missed and results stand up to scrutiny wherever you take them.
• GP Menopause Consultation — coming soon. Suitable for women who want a structured clinical review, personalised treatment plan, and discussion of HRT options with a GP experienced in menopause care.

Why choose Tamar Health for menopause care?

We take menopause seriously. Symptoms are real, varied, and often underinvestigated — and we believe women deserve timely access to accurate information about their own health. Our clinicians are experienced in managing menopause and perimenopause and keep up to date with current NICE guidance and evidence-based treatment options. All blood tests are processed through Nationwide Pathology, a UKAS-accredited UK laboratory, and results are reviewed and reported by a clinician — not just flagged against a reference range.
