Part 5/13:
This lack of awareness and medical support means many women suffer in silence, with some experiencing early menopause due to genetic or environmental factors. For instance, writer Shinali Kula Shro went through menopause around age 47, with symptoms like brain fog, hot flushes, and bone pain—experiences that remain poorly understood and seldom discussed openly.
Changing Narratives Through Personal Stories and Media
Despite these challenges, shifting narratives are emerging, largely driven by women willing to speak out. Shinali chose to share her journey publicly, even turning to biohormone therapy to manage her symptoms. Her efforts aim to normalize menopause discussions, combat stigma, and empower other women to seek help.
