Halle Berry’s doctor misdiagnosed her perimenopause symptoms as an STI, causing confusion and strain on her relationship with Van Hunt.
Berry’s painful symptoms led to a diagnosis of herpes, which was later found to be incorrect, prompting her to do her own research and start Respin Health. The misdiagnosis was a turning point for Berry, leading her to discover dry vagina syndrome associated with perimenopause and embrace aging.
Berry emphasized the need to destigmatize menopause and mid-life, urging women to work together to change cultural perceptions.
