Hollywood star Halle Berry, 57, shared a story from her life that is as harrowing as it is powerful in demystifying women’s health issues.
The eternally radiant actress revealed how a doctor once told her she had the “worst case of herpes [they had] ever seen,” only to later discover that the gynecologist had erroneously identified her symptoms. She eventually learned that she was experiencing perimenopause, a sneaky precursor to menopause.
“First of all, my ego told me that I was going to skip [perimenopause],” Halle said during a conversation with First Lady Jill Biden at Monday’s A Day of Unreasonable Conversation summit at the Getty Center in Los Angeles.
