Blood Test FAQs
-
We use a private blood test provider, called Nationwide Pathology.
Nationwide Pathology can be contacted on 01858 571322.
A member of their appointments team will book your blood test - either at your nearest clinic, or with a mobile nurse, at a time that works for you.
-
Blood tests are not usually needed to diagnose perimenopause or menopause.
-
Women don’t always need a blood test. We may sometimes recommend a blood test to check for other medical conditions.
If you are already on HRT, and your symptoms aren’t improving, a blood test can help guide your treatment.
If considering starting testosterone replacement therapy - you will need a baseline testosterone blood test before starting treatment, followed by tests at 3 then 12 months. If your levels are high at any point, we may recommend a repeat level.
If you are under 40, and experiencing symptoms, a blood test can be helpful as part of considering Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI).
Please do not worry about which blood test, or whether this is needed, we will help you during your appointment.
-
We are trying to make our service as accessible as possible.
We accept blood test results from both the NHS and private providers, as long as the sample is taken from a vein (not finger prick).
Please do not send us your results in advance, we will discuss them during your appointment.
You can ask your GP if they will take your blood test for you, but they are not under any obligation to do so.
-
On the day of your blood test, please omit the application of your testosterone or oestrogen gel until after the blood sample has been taken.
If you use an oestrogen patch, this can remain in place.
-
Your blood test results will be reviewed by a Lemala Health clinician. We will usually contact you by email within 2 weeks of your blood test being taken.
If results are clinically significant or require earlier follow-up, we may contact you sooner using the contact details held on your medical record.
If you have not heard from us within 2 weeks, please contact us by email so we can ensure we have received your results.
-
No, I am afraid this service is only available for existing patients.
This is for your safety, as we require some information about you to be able to report on your results.
