    I’ve heard plenty of anecdotes of doctors still not understanding how a woman’s body works or how to treat such cases, or not caring, I don’t know, but it’s insane that there isn’t enough research or funding to deal with these things. Why?

    I had absolutely no idea that menopause was something you could seek treatment for, or how much it can affect day-to-day life. Thank you for sharing.
