The federal government would study how hormone levels change in women going through perimenopause (the years leading up to menopause) and evaluate the accuracy and usefulness of hormone tests during this time. The National Institutes of Health and the Department of Health and Human Services would work together to understand these hormonal changes better and determine which tests doctors should use to help women during this life stage. This research could help doctors provide better care and treatment options for women experiencing perimenopause symptoms.
