Talk:Menopause

Twins study - early menopause

I moved these two sentences here so we can look for secondary sources. This was only one primary study in 2007. I did a very fast hand search on pubmed and did not see much.

Rates of premature menopause have been found to be significantly higher in fraternal and identical twins; about 5% of twins reach menopause before the age of 40.  The reasons for this are not completely understood.

Creation of Perimenopause Page

I believe a dedicated Wikipedia page for perimenopause is needed. Currently, it redirects to "menopause." Perimenopause involves distinct hormonal changes and symptoms, differing from menopause. It affects many women, significantly impacting their quality of life. Medical issues affecting women often receive less attention and funding. This lack of research and awareness about perimenopause leads to under-treatment. Cosmicseeds (talk) 21:51, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

I'm all for a separate topic. ~2026-25413-89 (talk) 15:08, 25 April 2026 (UTC)

@Cosmicseeds

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%3ASplitting?wprov=sfla1

sets out the rules for whether something merits it's own page.

The subsection itself doesn't but it may well be we could make a page that does. I think it's certainly its own notable topic these days and so meets that element.

let's work on the current draft page. LarryAfner (talk) 10:08, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Yes, the relevance of this content is very high, as it covers a life stage that all women who reach midlife will eventually go through. The fact that awareness of perimenopause remains low only increases the need for this information. I hope other editors will jump in to help improve the draft page.

Wiki Education assignment: TCU SOM Wikipedia Elective Spring 2025 Block 3A

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 26 May 2025 and 6 June 2025. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Always Studying (article contribs).

I am an MS4 completing an assignment for a Wiki Education Assignment. I plan to make the following changes: I will use systematic reviews to describe the effectiveness and relative efficacy of hormonal, non-hormonal, and energy-based therapies, both as standalone treatments and in combination, for the management of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM).

Symptoms of Perimenopause

I think the Symptoms of Perimenopause should be changed, because right now it lists Atrophy. But the link for Atrophy takes you to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrophic_vaginitis. This will cause confusion because most people know Atrophy as a wasting disease, where you lose fat, muscle, and bone density as your body digests itself for nutrients.

I think the symptom should changed to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrophic_vaginitis just to clarify that women in any stage of Menopause aren't going to waste away into husks. 68.63.220.187 (talk) 02:07, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Done. Thank you. Crossroads ^-talk- 20:11, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Likely AI generated text

Hi - there are a lot of edits here that are likely LLM-generated, based on many common signs seen in aggregate across AI edits on Wikipedia. This is a probably incomplete list:

• this
• this
• the edits ClueBot reverted and that the editor unreverted
• again probably others

All of this needs extensive review for hallucinations, source-to-text integrity, original research, non-neutral tone, and the like. Gnomingstuff (talk) 03:47, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

If this is so then it should just be reverted. Otherwise errors can stick around and propagate. Crossroads ^-talk- 23:17, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

Bumping this because we should try to get rid of the article-wide LLM tag. Any objections to just dumping the text added in these August 2025 edits? Crossroads ^-talk- 21:02, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

I'm for reverting this text. Women's health is already filled with misinformation, don't want this article becoming apart of it. Plasticponies (talk) 06:14, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
