Menopause,  Hormone & Tiredness Blood Tests Manchester

Private Blood Tests: Fast, Accurate, Reliable

While blood tests are often not necessary for diagnosing perimenopause and menopause in most women, we do offer hormone level measurements through blood tests, which can provide valuable guidance for treatment decisions. Blood tests are also part of routine assessments during well-woman and well-man check-ups, and they help evaluate other systems such as thyroid function.

We offer independent arrangement of all tests, and customized packages can be created upon request. Moreover, additional tests beyond the standard can be made available upon request.

FAQs

What are the benefits of venous blood tests over finger prick blood tests?

Both venous blood tests and finger prick blood tests serve as methods to collect blood samples for various diagnostic purposes. Venous blood tests offer several advantages over finger prick tests:

Sample Volume: Venous blood tests usually yield larger blood samples, which is especially vital when multiple or high-volume tests are required.

Multiple Tests: The larger volume obtained through venous blood tests allows for conducting numerous tests from a single sample, reducing the need for multiple blood draws, beneficial for patients requiring multiple tests.

Lab Processing: Venous blood samples are sent directly to labs for processing by trained professionals, often utilizing standardized procedures and automated equipment, potentially leading to more consistent and reliable results.

Accuracy: Venous blood samples, with their larger volumes, are generally considered more accurate, especially for tests requiring specific handling protocols, reducing the potential for fluctuations and inaccuracies in results.

Variability: Finger prick blood samples may be subject to variations due to factors like blood flow, depth of prick, and skin conditions, while venous blood samples are less affected by these variables.

Test Availability: Specialized tests, particularly those demanding larger sample volumes or specific processing, may only be accessible via venous blood collection.

Patient Comfort: As venous blood collection is often performed by experienced phlebotomists, it can provide greater comfort for patients in certain instances.
