The Menopause Myth We Need To Break, Here’s Why
SHARE

Menopause is no longer being viewed as a medical problem but as a pivotal moment for empowerment and systemic change in a woman’s life. The conversation around menopause is shifting towards a model that prioritizes agency, equity, and inclusivity. Researchers in The Lancet are advocating for a new paradigm that emphasizes the importance of empowerment, health autonomy, and individualized care during menopause.

Menopause affects everyone with ovaries who lives long enough, but the experience is not uniform. Menopausal women with a migration background face unique challenges in accessing culturally sensitive care and navigating healthcare systems that may not cater to their specific needs. Studies show that healthcare communication and treatment models are often geared towards Western individuals in high-income countries, leaving women from non-Western cultures at a disadvantage. It is crucial to address these disparities and ensure that menopausal women from diverse backgrounds receive inclusive and research-driven healthcare.

Cultural attitudes also play a significant role in how menopause is perceived and managed. Women from different cultural backgrounds may have varying experiences with menopause symptoms and may face barriers to seeking care due to language issues, healthcare discrimination, and cultural taboos. It is essential to consider the intersection of globalization and cultural identity in providing personalized and equitable menopause care.

Framing menopause through a feminist lens challenges the traditional view of menopause as a hormonal deficiency and emphasizes the importance of autonomy, informed choice, and intersectional understanding. The empowerment model of menopause decentralizes authority from institutions and pharmaceutical narratives, empowering women to make decisions about their health and well-being. Menopause is not seen as a decline but as a transformation, highlighting the importance of self-agency and bodily autonomy.

The Lancet article proposes a health empowerment model for menopause that focuses on knowledge, confidence, and shared decision-making. It emphasizes access to evidence-based information, clinical support that listens to women’s concerns, and workplace accommodations that respect the realities of menopausal women. This model acknowledges the biological and psychological nuances of menopause and encourages individuals to choose the care options that align with their needs and preferences.

In the workplace, menopause is an often overlooked issue that can have a significant impact on women’s well-being and productivity. Many companies are unprepared to support menopausal women, leading to challenges in retention and employee satisfaction. Creating menopause-literate workplaces through initiatives like Menopause At Work can help companies retain talent and improve their ESG performance.

Digital platforms have emerged as valuable resources for menopausal women, providing education, treatment comparisons, and peer support. Tools like Henpicked and Women Living Better offer symptom management strategies and bridge the gap in formal care. However, it is essential to evaluate the quality of digital resources and ensure that women have access to reliable and evidence-based information.

Overall, the future of menopause care is about empowering individuals with knowledge and choice. By redefining the menopause narrative and prioritizing health autonomy and self-agency, menopause can be seen as a transformative and empowering experience. It is not just about hormones; it is about human dignity and the disruptive technology of self-care in midlife.
