Hello, do you need to fast for the menopausal syndrome examination?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Menopause evaluation is generally performed through sex hormone measurements, and there is no need to fast for the test. Menopause is only considered confirmed after a year of amenorrhea. Whether to use medication to alleviate menopausal symptoms depends on personal preference. If considering medication for symptomatic relief before complete menopause, low-dose hormone replacement therapy can be used after menopause to alleviate menopausal symptoms and improve quality of life. However, it must be used under the guidance of a gynecological specialist, and it is crucial to avoid blind supplementation.
