I know what you mean that people not much talking about menopause or perimenopausal symptoms. It was same in Japan and the situation gets better or I see more info about it as I'm in my forties. I feel it's talked openly in Germany. It's part of our life so why not talk about it. Nothing to hesitate about it :)

It's still very much a taboo topic in Asia. People frown or feel uncomfortable whenever we talk openly about it. Not just a peri/meno topic, as long as it's related to women's reproductive health, it's a no-no to talk about it. It's embarrassing to even buy menstrual pads in some rural areas, let alone talk about it. It's so isolating with a tinge of shame whenever I struggle with this.
