Halle Berry says perimenopause felt like ‘razor blades in my v*gina’ while sharing Secret that Helped Ease Pain ‘Down Under’

A recent interview has actress Halle Berry's fans talking.

This is because the star did not hold back when it came down to some very personal details regarding her battle with perimenopause.

Dubbed as a very painful experience for her at 54, the celeb mentioned that severe vaginal dryness felt like razor blades, and it was hard for her to cope with so many days. Berry added how her doctor ended up misdiagnosing her at first and even called her symptoms those linked to Herpes.

Thankfully, the tests came back negative, and she found that she was experiencing GSM. This condition reportedly impacts more than half of women who are peri- and menopausal. Despite the fact that it's so common, many women don't seek help due to embarrassment or being diagnosed incorrectly.

Now that she's nearly 60, the star says she's open to advocating for chats linked to the sexual health of women, as that's necessary. She noted how male dysfunction is discussed so openly while women's remains behind closed doors.

In the end, she added that vaginal moisturizers, lubricants, and hyaluronic acid are so important as they assist in such conditions.
