Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWelcome back to Beyond the Words! I'm Dimple Thakrar. Today, I'm sharing a deeply personal experience - my journey through menopause. I want to emphasize that I'm not a medical professional, just a woman sharing her story.I open up about my family's history with ovarian issues and losing my mother to it. This led to a decision for my sisters and me to undergo preventive hysterectomies. The aftermath was unexpected - surgery-induced menopause. The emotional and physical toll was immense. Finally, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) provided relief, but it came with its own challenges.Key Takeaways:Menopause is often misunderstood and stigmatized, but it's a natural phase for many women.HRT can be a crucial lifeline for those struggling with menopausal symptoms.Compassion is vital, both for oneself and for those supporting women going through this transition.Understanding and seeking help for menopausal symptoms is crucial for overall well-being.Remember, you're not alone. Seek the support you need, and approach this phase with compassion and understanding. Take care. - Dimple x  Dimple Thakrar Resource Links: Website: https://dimpleglobal.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dimple.thakrarInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dimplethakrar/
