""I would like to get my hormones checked before we start treating whatever's going on. Like, how are you treating something and you have done no tests?""
""If I go to Quest [Diagnostics], I can purchase this test for like 500 bucks. So, why can't you write it for me?""
""You are not going to see a cardiologist put someone on a statin without doing any sort of test or EKG. Not for women, apparently. Not us.""
""What does it take to get a full hormone panel, like a full workup as a woman, without having to pay however much it costs, out of pocket, or go to a holistic practitioner?""
Women experiencing symptoms of perimenopause often encounter dismissive responses from healthcare providers. A TikTok creator shared her experience of seeking help for mood swings, irregular periods, and sleep issues, only to be offered birth control without any hormone testing. Despite her insistence on getting a hormone panel, she was told they were treating symptoms without tests. This scenario reflects a broader issue where women's health concerns are not taken seriously, leading to frustration and a lack of appropriate care.
