menopause

Let's talk about early menopause. New research is shedding light on a hidden health crisis affecting women who experience menopause way too early. Imagine your body fast-forwarding through time, losing essential hormones decades before it should. That's what happens with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) and early menopause. And it's not just about hot flashes and mood swings—we're talking serious long-term health risks.📊 The stats are eye-opening:
• Nearly 2 out of 3 women with POI develop multiple chronic health conditions
• They're at much higher risk for heart disease, brittle bones, and joint problems
• Shockingly, only about half are getting hormone therapy that could help

By understanding these risks, we can take charge of our health. Whether it's you or someone you love, don't ignore the signs of early menopause.👩‍⚕️ Talk to your doctor about:
• Hormone therapy options
• Bone density screenings
• Heart health check-ups
• Lifestyle changes to boost your health
