Knowledge is power on subjects that gps aren't experienced with. Unfortunately menopause is one of them. We have a lovely wellwoman nurse who came from gynae at the hospital and is very modern with her approach (she's pro testosterone but hits a wall with gps stuck in their ways), on one review I asked her for ovestin along with my vagifem, she said you can't have both. I argued that you can and suggested she googled it, so she did there and then, got up and hugged me saying she's got so many older patients that will benefit from using both. She loves how I learn about things , it sounds like the majority of female patients at my surgery just take what they're told as gospel but I question it all, my surgery is in a deprived area of town so without meaning to judge that could play s huge part. We've moved Home about 11 miles away but I wrote to the surgery bigging them up saying I'm happy with their service and have got my treatment to a level I can function on and would love to stay with them and they accepted x
