Delayed menopause diagnosis is leaving women suffering
Published: 4th November 2019
New research shows that education surrounding the menopause is still seriously lacking, having serious consequences on the health of women across the nation. Dr Louise Newson and her team at Newson Health Research and Education recently conducted a survey of almost 5,000 women – which found that hours and hours of women’s time, not to mention NHS money – are being wasted when doctors misdiagnose menopausal symptoms as something else.
This article from womenandhome.com, discusses how misdiagnosis of the menopause can leave many women suffering, as well as being unnecessarily expensive for the NHS.
