If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office feeling unheard when it comes to perimenopause symptoms, you’re not alone. Across social media and between friends, one story echoes again and again - “my doctor didn’t take me seriously.”

For too many women, perimenopause and menopause come with not only physical symptoms, but emotional frustration from a lack of understanding and support. Hot flushes, anxiety, brain fog, and sleep struggles are often brushed off as “just stress,” “just getting older,” or “just part of being a woman.”

But here’s the truth — none of this should be dismissed.

The Silent Dismissal

In the lead-up to menopause, hormone fluctuations can begin as early as your late 30s or early 40s. Yet, many women report being told they’re “too young” to be experiencing perimenopause. Symptoms like mood changes, joint pain, heart palpitations, or fatigue are often misdiagnosed, or worse, ignored entirely.

The lack of training around women’s hormonal health means that many GPs still view menopause as a single point in time, rather than a gradual and deeply individual process. This leaves countless women confused, isolated, and searching for answers on their own.

Why This Matters

When symptoms are dismissed, women are left to navigate a confusing maze of emotions and physical changes without proper care. Beyond the discomfort, the dismissal creates something deeper - self-doubt.

Many start to wonder if they’re imagining it, or if they just need to “push through.”
 But perimenopause isn’t a mindset problem, it’s a biological transition that deserves compassion, conversation, and care.

The Change We Need

It’s time to shift the narrative. Menopause is not the end of vitality or femininity, it’s a powerful new phase that can be supported through education, nourishment, and self-connection.

We need healthcare systems and conversations that empower women to:

• Track their cycles and symptoms.
• Ask informed questions about options like HRT, herbal support, and lifestyle changes.
• Be heard, believed, and guided through every stage of this transition.
