Menopause and In the Spanish Community...

Why is sexuality, menopause, and postmenopausal health often considered taboo in the Spanish-speaking community? One important reason I think is the influence of traditional cultural values, gender expectations, and the lack of open conversations about women’s bodies and aging. In some Spanish-speaking communities, sexuality and menopause are viewed as private matters that should not be discussed openly, especially among older generations. I think its time we break those rules and start talking and sharing what works what don't work and help each other get through this shift of Life.
