Can a saliva hormone test tell me exactly which menopause treatment I need?
No. A saliva hormone test does not tell you exactly which menopause treatment you need. ACOG advises against adjunct hormone tests for prescribing or dosing compounded menopausal hormone therapy. ACOG guidance.
Saliva testing is available when appropriate or when a patient specifically requests it. Testing currently starts at $179 and varies depending on the tests Valerie selects. Saliva testing is not required to diagnose perimenopause or menopause, and MedFIT does not routinely use salivary hormone levels to determine hormone treatment. In selected situations, certain salivary tests—such as cortisol testing for specific adrenal concerns—can have established clinical uses. Valerie can help determine whether testing is likely to add useful information in an individual situation.
