I would tend to say that the training of health care professionals covers menstruation and menopause. There may have been biases in the past regarding how women's bodies were perceived. As I mentioned earlier, the default assumption is that something is wrong, whereas we need to shift the paradigm and prioritize support.
We're on the right track today, but it takes time to correct these preconceived notions and to listen with an open mindset, free from stigma, when seeking solutions and investigating the root causes of a problem.
All of these concepts should be incorporated into the training of health care professionals so that we can move beyond the current tendency to view these issues solely through a medical lens. As Dr. Prévost noted, we should also consider how best to raise women's awareness of healthy lifestyle practices and related measures.
So this is a field of practice that needs to be strengthened, whether in relation to menstruation or menopause. I would point this out because, after all, these are two natural phenomena that are very closely connected.
