I heard a prominent menopause doctor casually use a term for the first time yesterday to describe per/menopause and I was not a fan. What do you think of "Female hormone deficiency syndrome with health risks… ?"
#menopause#perimenopause
The non black doctor misdiagnosed me and told me I had something only white women with menopause could have. Went to a black doctor,she figured it out in 2mins, and told me my previous doctor was completely wrong.
“Doctors aren’t particularly good at treating menopause…Only about 20% of OBGYNs feel competent talking about menopause with women.” @smalonemd on the lack of support for women going through menopause #CrossConnection
Had a phone apt with my doctor about peri menopause and he asked: any problems ‘down below’?
Down fucking below!

I’m happy discussing my vagina and vulva, doc.
