Perimenopause is an increasingly discussed health topic in both Brazilian and American medical communities. In Brazil, there is growing awareness of perimenopause symptoms through public health campaigns. American women often discuss their perimenopause experiences openly in medical and social contexts, and HRT (hormone replacement therapy) discussions are common.
