Menopause has long been a hush-hush topic, something on the periphery of our minds that no one really wants to talk about. (Except maybe in hushed whispers with your best friend while fanning yourself furiously.) Thankfully, those days are fading. Whether in Reddit threads or the group chat, women are finally sharing their menopause journeys, rendering "the change" a little less mysterious — and a lot less lonely. The newfound transparency about menopause couldn't come at a better time, according to gynecologist Mary Farhi, MD. "Women need accurate information to understand what's happening, that it's not a disease and they don't need to be afraid of it," she says. "But if symptoms are impacting their quality of life, there's also absolutely no reason to suffer." Taking control of your health during this (completely normal) transition starts with knowledge and understanding your options, including menopause hormone therapy, more commonly known as hormone replacement therapy. Here, experts break down everything you need to know. |
