Private menopause tests risk undermining NHS care, doctors say

According to the article, private menopause tests offered by clinics and for self-testing are deemed clinically useless by senior doctors. These tests, which claim to provide personalized insights by measuring hormone levels, are seen as misleading and medically unnecessary. Experts argue that these tests can undermine women's healthcare by distracting from evidence-based treatment provided by the NHS. The article suggests that these expensive, over-the-counter hormone tests are not reliable or beneficial, and may risk undermining the healthcare system's ability to provide effective, evidence-based care for women experiencing menopause.
