Let’s talk about hormones. Or, rather, the complete lack of a conversation about hormones in the Spanish public health system. I am 54 years old, and only I am just starting to feel like mine Hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). WHY? Here, in Spain, doctors are still clinging to a now discredited study of the 1990s, which connected the ZGT with breast cancer. This study caused panic all over the world, but since then it has been completely refuted. Modern studies show that HRT is not only safe for most women, but can also change life with proper management.
Meanwhile, in countries such as Great Britain, menopause clinics are basic. In Spain? Your local doctor is more likely to give you sleeping pills or antidepressants. I was offered just that. Five times! Not eleven HormonesIt hurt me the field, I did not sleep, I was anxiety, foggy and vigor. I googled my symptoms at the top and only realized that I was a classic perimenopausal. Pain in the legs? Yes, hormonal, this. Anxiety? Hormonal too. Insomnia? You have already guessed.
It is outrageous that in 2025, Women living in Spain Still dismissed, incorrectly diagnosed and treated, but not treated. We were told that this is only part of the aging. We were told to overcome this. My answer? No. I will not. And Nuther must.
If it sounds familiar, know this: You are not crazy – You are probably Perimenopausal. Require blood tests. Find a private doctor who understands HRT. Help exists, but the public system will not give it to you. Women deserve the best than they are ignored. We defeated the information, options and again feel like ourselves. And I’m not going to shut up on it.
