As surprising as it may sound, 60% of American women are self-taught about menopause. While there is no shortage of information on pregnancy and childbirth, the same cannot be said for perimenopause and menopause. Here's how women are navigating this silent transition
The Lack of Resources
Many women feel over-informed about pregnancy and childbirth, but when it comes to perimenopause and menopause, the resources seem to be lacking. This leaves many women feeling unprepared for this inevitable stage of life.
Self-Education
With limited resources available, more and more women are turning to self-education. Whether through online research, books, or personal anecdotes, women are taking their health into their own hands.
Embracing the Change
Despite the lack of information, women are embracing the change that comes with menopause. They are finding strength in each other's stories and sharing their own experiences to normalize this natural phase of life.
The Need for More Support
It's clear that there is a gap in the support system for women going through menopause. By providing more resources and opening up the conversation, we can empower women to navigate this transition with confidence and knowledge. The journey through menopause may be silent, but it doesn't have to be solitary.
