Let's please talk about menopause
Published Oct 15, 2024Wen Shen, director of the Women's Wellness and Healthy Aging Program at Johns Hopkins Medicine, is on a mission to raise awareness about menopause, as a boom of women hit midlife in the U.S. Menopause happens to everyone who menstruates, assuming they live long enough, and the experience varies from woman to woman, with some noticing only mild symptoms and others suffering in ways that interfere with daily life. On Oct. 17, Shen will appear in "The M Factor: Shredding the Silence About Menopause," a much-anticipated documentary on PBS.
