When we had much shorter lifespans menopause wasn’t an issue. Thanks to medical intervention we now have an incredibly longer life Toadinthehole
Menopause isn’t “meant” to happen. It is not natural. Like diabetes it is the result of a hormone deficiency.
Why any diabetics would be upset to hear that I don’t know. (My hormone deficiency trumps your hormone deficiency?)
People with an under active thyroid gland suffer from a hormone deficiency and receive thyroxine which corrects their deficiency.
Are you suggesting that somehow, as women, we have to put up with a lesser quality of life as our hormone deficiency is less important as others?
We rode through puberty without intervention. No one tried to stop it. I agree, if you can take it, and it works, great. Diabetes is a medical condition. Insulin shouldn’t stop. It’s supposed to be there for life, but something goes wrong. Menopause is about using up the eggs to no longer reproduce. So hopefully, people won’t be having children well into their old age.
I can’t understand why you see them the same, but so be it. We’ll have to agree to disagree.
