Short German-language clinical explanation distinguishing clinical and laboratory definitions of menopause. The speaker states menopause is a clinical diagnosis, notes situations where blood tests are appropriate (e.g., women in their early 40s with ~1 year of absent menses or women post-hysterectomy with ovaries preserved), recommends two hormone tests in such cases, and gives typical lab thresholds for estradiol (<20 pg/mL) and FSH (>20–30 IU/L, often >30 IU/L).
