In choosing to share her status as a menopausal woman, Harris would provide a moment of public service, and mark a commitment to women's health issues, writes Dr. Jennifer Ashton.will make history as a lot of “firsts.” She would be the first woman to hold the presidency, as well as, the first South Asian woman, the first President with a Jewish spouse—and most likely the first President in menopause.interesting.
Let’s be clear: These symptoms, though often numerous, would no more interfere with being able to do one’s job—even if that job is President of the United States—than an enlarged prostate or heartburn would. Furthermore, pharmacologic assistance is available in the form of hormone replacement therapy . Though misreadings of a flawed medical study had long presented HRT as dangerous to menopausal women, we now know that’s not the case.
And there are some positives: By the time most women enter menopause, they are experienced, knowledgeable and generally unfazed by many of life's physical and emotional speed bumps; they’ve survived puberty and, often, pregnancy—massive hormonal life stages that can also be pretty grueling. Now that all eyes are on her, it would be a good time for that to change. Presidential candidates are expected to share pertinent information on their health and any medical conditions—aside from her being menopausal, Harris is in a higher risk category for breast, endometrial and ovarian cancers since she has not had a full-term pregnancy.
