Menopause Awareness Month feels like the perfect time to say the things I will keep saying until women no longer need to hear them. 🌸
Women deserve to understand ALL of their treatment options.
Hormone therapy should be a personalized conversation, not automatically dismissed because of outdated fear.
Painful s*x is not something you should simply accept as the price of getting older.
Your sleep matters. Your s*xual health matters. Your mood matters. Your energy matters. Your quality of life matters.
Perimenopause can begin long before your periods stop.
And “your labs are normal” should never be the end of the conversation when you’re telling your doctor you don’t feel like yourself.
Maybe my biggest hill of all?
Women should not have to fight this hard to be heard in healthcare.
Awareness is a start. Better menopause care is the goal.
And I’ll keep advocating for both. 💗
