menopause

Doctors say the earlier menopause is a result of nutritional and environmental circumstances as well as genetic factors.

“Indian women live one-third of their life after menopause,” she says.

Doctors say menopause and perimenopause are under-researched across the world with very little taught about it in medical school.

Many follow American specialists like Dr Mary Claire Haver who shares latest research on social media and celebrities like Hollywood actresses Naomi Watts and Halle Berry who have been promoting the documentary The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause.

Watts is herself writing a book on menopause while Berry is pushing for new legislation to promote its research, training and education.
