HotPause Health Medical Advisor and OBGYN, Dr. Beverly Joyce explains why you don’t typically need to get your hormones tested to diagnose if you are experiencing perimenopause. Perimenopause is diagnosed based on a woman’s symptoms. The blood hormone levels don’t provide much additional detail or medical insights to providers. Rather, a provider is mainly interested in understanding perimenopausal symptoms and how these symptoms impact a women’s quality of life.
There are over 34 common symptoms of perimenopause. Brain fog, night sweats, insomnia, anxiety, acne, hair loss, vaginal dryness, dry eyes, frozen shoulder and depression are just some of the most common symptoms. Providers are able to best support and treat patients by understanding their symptoms, not their hormone levels which are constantly fluctuating.
