How the Mira Monitor Can Help You Understand Your Hormone Chaos

Experiencing fatigue, bloating, or mood swings despite normal blood tests? The Mira monitor tracks key hormones—LH, E3G, PdG, and FSH—through daily urine samples, revealing patterns like estrogen dominance or low progesterone. This data helps pinpoint ovulatory cycles and hormonal imbalances, offering clarity during perimenopause. At Sirona Health, we interpret your Mira results in the context of your symptoms, guiding decisions on HRT, supplements, and lifestyle interventions.

At Sirona Health, we use the Mira hormone monitor to track estrogen, LH, FSH, and progesterone levels over time. That way, we can decode how your hormones relate to your symptoms and tailor personalised advice—so you stop guessing and start understanding what’s happening in your body.

Feeling Constantly Tired? Let’s Talk About Fatigue

Fatigue is a common yet often overlooked symptom among women, particularly in their 40s and 50s. It's more than just feeling tired—it's a persistent, overwhelming exhaustion that isn't relieved by sleep. This chronic fatigue can significantly impact daily life and may be linked to various factors such as hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause, iron deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, psychological stress, sleep disorders, and nutritional deficiencies. Understanding the underlying causes is crucial for effective management and treatment. Explore how addressing these factors can help restore your energy and well-being.

Progesterone for perimenopausal symptoms

Progesterone plays a crucial role in managing perimenopausal symptoms by balancing estrogen levels and supporting overall hormonal harmony.

Consulting with a healthcare provider is essential to determine the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to individual needs.
