How Women of Color Experience Perimenopause with Dr. Sameena Rahman

How Women of Color Experience Perimenopause is the focus in today’s episode of Perimenopause WTF! hosted by Rachel Hughes.  Rachel sits down with Dr. Sameena Rahman, MD, OB-GYN. Dr. Rahman has made it her mission to fight the biases and cultural norms in healthcare practices that contribute to the underlying problems in women’s gynaecological health, focusing on BIPOC, LatinX, women of Middle Eastern descent, Asian and minority communities in general. In this conversation they break down the issues, touching on the interesting studies, discussing concepts like allostatic stressors and why women of color are going through menopause earlier than others, how womens’ cultural experiences impact their perimenopause phase, and the stigmas that stem from religious and cultural factors that affect women’s sexual health and the issues they may experience.
