People worried about pregnancy and infertility would take up lot of space.

Menopause is too specific. It's feature creep. After that, we'll have separate forums for all kinds of health issues.


+1. 50s and over needs its own forum for both men and women.

Then all the parents asking about their kid’s first periods will have a place to go, along with my vagina smells like fish what do I do…


I like this. I understand wanting both a broader and specific topic though too.

Appreciate it being separated from elder care.

Are you there, Jeff? It’s me, Menopause. Definitely needs to be the name.

I agree. I personally think this is ridiculous, and I am of this age group. Without a doubt, the women who make menopause into this huge thing and hyper focus on it have the most trouble with it. Plenty of us are going through it with minor to no issues with it and have plenty of other things to think about related to health and wellness.

I think the original idea was to keep it streamlined to peri/menopause.

I’m the one who recommended Women’s Health. It could also include sexual function and contraception. Basically everything related to woman-specific health except things that fall into the TTC forum.

This leaves space for pcos, endo, fibroids etc. also menarche, peri/menopause.

We want a dedicated forum to discuss peri and post menopause. I have seen complaints on the health forum about all the peri posts. There is enough interest to warrant a separate forum. I am not going to register to discuss my hot flashes and insomnia, either, thank you very much.


Mostly worried about the intrusive nature of folks when we talk about women’s bodies. And as a woman currently in the grips of perimenopause I feel like there is room for overlap for woman experiencing other reproductive health related concerns. Especially pain and period related things. So often symptoms are similar.
