Drew Barrymore is getting real about perimenopause and dating.
Wednesday, where she shared how the symptoms of perimenopause and menopause have impacted the way she dates., perimenopause means"around menopause" and"refers to the time during which your body makes the natural transition to menopause, marking the end of the reproductive years."
"There’s something in that stigma that I don’t want you to think I’m some dusty, old, dry thing. That’s not the image I want," Barrymore shared after revealing that she hesitated to tell a date about the panel, and namely, it's topic of discussion. "I feel very confident, normally, and I want to be who I am and present myself. But in that moment, I thought, I have to tell this story because it was a real life experience of, I'm so proud to be here. I'm an open book. But in that one moment, I was like, 'I don't want to say what it is, because I'm engaging in someone who I want to see me a certain way,'" she explained.
Barrymore said that the moment made her think of menopause differently and question whether there's a way to"rebrand" the sometimes taboo topic."If Mark Zuckerberg could rebrand Facebook to Meta, maybe we can do this for menopause.
