Do our hormone levels fluctuate as widely in post menopause?
Perhaps in the absence of any testing our GPs should have a big tick list of symptoms that are oestrogen / progestrone/ testosterone/ and everything else-one related so they have a better idea of what's going on in our bodies. (Can I finish this post like most of my others - "Mine are clueless" )

After menopause I understand hormones level off and presume some ladies are fine with lower levels and some aren't.
I agree about relating symptoms to certain hormones but there isn't mainstream reference to this and some overlap. Within the limited time with a GP it's my understanding that hot flashes, vaginal dryness and mood swings are the main symptoms they attribute and treat for and all are said to be low estrogen. I presume this is because the drugs are trialled and researched on this basis and not because other symptoms aren't relevant and give clues to which hormone imbalance a woman is particularly bothered by. I honestly think premenopause it's hard to treat specifically with current thinking.
