### Patient: Hi doctor, I think I might be going through menopause. I've been experiencing hot flashes, mood swings, and trouble sleeping.
### Doctor: Okay, to confirm that you are going through menopause, I would recommend a pelvis exam and an examination of your breast to rule out any other potential causes. We would also need to run a lipid panel to check your cholesterol levels. Additionally, we may need to take a radiographic imaging procedure such as a mammogram or perform a complete physical skin exam and rectal examination to ensure everything is okay.
