What: At-home menopause tests are now a thing, and the Washington Post looks at whether they work. They find it’s kind of a mixed bag – some providers say it’s not necessary and to just talk to your doctor, others say it can be helpful for some patients to feel prepared before going in to see a health care provider.
Why it matters: Medical school training on menopause isn’t broadly comprehensive, and women can be dismissed when reporting menopause symptoms. We get those who want a test AND those who would rather just talk to the doc.
