Hormone testing in perimenopause?
Hormone testing in perimenopause? Not as useful as you might think. Because estrogen and progesterone fluctuate dramatically day to day, blood tests often provide little diagnostic value. A menopause-trained provider can diagnose perimenopause based on clinical symptoms, a thorough history, and by ruling out other potential causes. The key? Listening to the patient, recognizing the pattern, and providing evidence-based care. #menopause #perimenopause #drmaryclaire #thenewmenopause
