Changing Perspectives on Menopause
Menopause is often surrounded by stigma and misinformation, yet awareness is increasing, with societal conversations finally shifting in a more positive direction. Despite nearly 6,000 women reaching menopause daily in the U.S., the use of hormone replacement therapy has drastically decreased over the past two decades, mirroring a cultural misunderstanding of menopausal health. Many women continue to endure menopausal symptoms in silence, believing they must endure the transition without assistance. Recent movements have begun to challenge these outdated narratives, urging a deeper exploration of the realities of menopause and its treatment.
