Why we don’t talk about menopause
And why that could be about to change.

更年期障害について。私は一年中発汗がひどいのでホットフラッシュか?と思った時期もあったけど、普通に肥満が過ぎただけだったw(少し痩せたらマシになった)

menopause

意味 [U][しばしば the ~]月経閉止期, 更年期 ((くだけて)the change (of life)).

Nobody tells you about menopause.

stigma

意味 [C][通例単数形で](社会的な) 不名誉, 恥辱, 烙印 (らくいん), 偏見

Instead, experts say, they need an end to the stigma around this very normal phase of life, and the kind of real talk they didn’t get when they were younger.

確かに「女ではなくなる」ってニュアンスがあるよな…アメリカも同じなんだ。私は妊娠願望全く無かったから早く閉経来てほしいけど。

The most common, and perhaps the best known, are hot flashes, in which the upper body suddenly becomes warm and sometimes flushed.
