We’ve all heard of menopause, and for those who don’t really know much about it they may just relate it to when a woman gets older. It can sometimes be thought of as a taboo subject and avoided in conversation, which makes it hard for people to understand what exactly is going on. And, especially for women who are experiencing symptoms related to perimenopause and menopause, it can prevent them from being able to identify the changes in their body and learning how to treat it.
