A Postmenopausal Profile is a series of tests designed to assess health status and monitor potential risks for women after menopause. It typically includes measurements of hormone levels such as estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) to evaluate hormonal changes. Bone mineral density (BMD) testing, such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), helps assess osteoporosis risk. Lipid panel tests measure cholesterol levels, while glucose tests screen for diabetes risk. These tests help identify and manage conditions like osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic disorders that can become more prevalent postmenopause, guiding preventive measures and treatment strategies.
