>2 decades ago, the shocking results of a major women’s #health study challenged the safety of menopause #hormone medication, & overnight, millions of #women & their #doctors abandoned the drugs….
Now, a long-term follow-up of the #WomensHealth Initiative (WHI)…found that for many younger menopausal women—under 60—the benefits…outweigh the risks for short-term treatment of symptoms, incl’g hot flashes & night sweats.
Can anyone point me in the direction of information regarding increased libido during #perimenopause ? It's impossible to search for online as you just get a gazillion bits of information about the exact opposite.
When #women of #colour seek out care, they often encounter physicians who aren’t aware of those differences and aren’t fully equipped to help them navigate the transition. That can feel like a dismissal of their concerns — a familiar experience for women of color at the doctor' #NoPaywall#GiftArticle
I can remember my Mum and her friends talking about the 'the change'. Not in an open way that really explained what it is was, far more vague than that. "Well it's probably the change" kind of phrases. I did know it was the menopause but all I knew was that your periods stopped and things were 'different'.
Of course as I got older I learned more but mostly that did nothing
#Poitiers : la semaine prochaine, c'est le retour des MENSTRUEUSES ! On inaugure mardi 21 avec un atelier d'écriture sur la #ménopause organisé par Elise Thiébaut et une séance de ciné, et on termine dimanche 26 avec un atelier #fanzine à la Fanzinothèque. Entre les deux : expo, concert, manif, spectacles et conférences.
No federal law requires employers to accommodate menopausal symptoms.
Unlike pregnancy, this stage of life that impacts tens of millions of women is not protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act, as U.S. courts have consistently held that menopause is not a disability, even when the symptoms are seriously affecting someone’s ability to do their job.

Fantastic animals! Among many amazing things about #narwhals, they are one of the few species with long post reproductive lifespan for females--a kind of #menopause. This says something about sophisticated social organization and cooperative breeding.
I went to the gym today where I did Nordic curls, goblet squats, kettlebell stuff, and running.
I’m always worried about the running. I used to race regularly, mostly cross country, but also mountain races and obstacle course races. Since hormonal changes knocked me for a loop, running has been extra hard. I have hypermobility, which means that I have to rely on a lot of muscular endurance because my toes and Achilles tendons are loose and floppy. Until I have all those muscles built up, running often results in pain in my toes and along the top of my foot.
I’d really like to be able to run regularly again. I miss being able to do 10km mountain courses. I really really REALLY hope the air quality, temperature, and my health conspire to let me do this again. If I can run again, it’s better for us all. It means the country isn’t on fire again.
Congé menstruel réduit aux règles incapacitantes vérifiées par un médecin
Suivi des débats des sénateurs (masculin majoritaire à 65%) sur nos problèmes de gonzesses et de personnes menstruées au boulot.
Le groupe Communiste Républicain Citoyen Écologiste est favorable (on le savait déjà).
Mais plus surprenante, Silvana Silvani du groupe CRCE regrette que le dispositif ne soit pas étendu à l'ensemble des problèmes de santé des femmes qui ont été soulevés par le rapport sénatorial sur la santé au travail (dont la ménopause et les autres phases dont je vous rabâche les oreilles ici).
"Je voudrais dire aux collègues, pour avoir entendu un certain nombre d'arguments (sur le secret médical, la confidentialité, etc.) : je crois que le vote du sénat est un vote générationnel. 💥
Les jeunes femmes aujourd'hui et c'est leur grande victoire, n'ont plus peur de dire qu'elles ont leurs règles. Elles le disent : le tabou des règles, c'est terminé !"
[Hurff, elle est un poil optimiste là.]
"Nous l'avions évoqué dans le rapport sur la santé des femmes au travail, non seulement le #tabou des #règles est terminé !
Et demain le tabou de la #ménopause sera terminé !"
La découverte de la longue survie de femelles chimpanzées au-delà de leur période reproductive alimente de nombreuses questions sur la nature de la #ménopause. Est-elle issue de notre mode de vie ultra-protégé ou de millions d’années d’#évolution?
This statistic is outrageous: "Too few primary care doctors have enough knowledge about the #menopause; four in 10 medical schools do not even include menopause as part of their mandatory curriculum."
Nieuwe fascinerende podcast van #ZOE: Over #overgang#menopause en hoe je zou moeten #sporten. En dat is niét zoals de landelijke richtlijn want die is gebaseerd op data over mannen.
Bij de weg, #perimenopause begint al in je vroege 40+ jaren dus ook als je nog geen 50+ bent, luisteren!!!
menopause results in females increasing their opportunity for intergenerational help by increasing their lifespan overlap with their grandoffspring and offspring without increasing their reproductive overlap with their daughters. #menopause#whales#evolution
