According to National Institute of Health (Nih)Menopause is a stage of a lady’s life when her menstrual periods stop permanently and may not get pregnant. However, this natural decrease in women’s reproductive hormones could cause a number of symptoms which are unique to each woman. For Winfrey, the symptoms became so intense that she needed to stop running her popular book club.

“The worst thing for me when I knew I really have trouble when I couldn’t concentrate reading. I love to read so much, but I let go of the book club because I couldn’t concentrate when I read. I couldn’t finish the book anymore,” Winfrey told Winfrey ABC News. “I brought (book club) when I started taking estrogen because I could focus again, but I never really shared the fact that the real reason I had to stop was is that I couldn’t concentrate anymore. It makes me want to cry.”

However, Winfrey didn’t experience any common symptoms of menopause, corresponding to hot flashes or night sweats. Instead, she coped with palpitations, which she didn’t know that they were symptoms of menopause. While society is used to talking about menopause in jokes, for instance, when Clair Huxtable pushed her head into the freezer, when it experienced hot flashes, conversations surrounding menopause are almost non -existent. This explains why Winfrey was not aware of possible symptoms and why he now uses her special hul to make clear this subject and encourage women to medical advice.

“When I went through it, there was nothing. There was nobody. I felt literally as if I had died every night,” she said, explaining the way it took her two years to understand that she was experiencing menopause. “Because it affects every cell in your body, you have any of the symptoms for the first time, then you must find a doctor who listens to you, hear you and take action for you.”
