Study: Over half of women in their early 30s are now having menopause symptoms (I'm sure this is fine)
Not The Bee ^ | February 26, 2025 | Staff

According to a recent report from Flo Health and the University of Virginia, perimenopause is sneaking up on women earlier than ever β€” sometimes a decade before menopause officially crashes the party.

Men with lower testosterone looking at women getting hot flashes at 30:

Researchers found that in a sample of 4,432 American women, more than half of the women in the 30-35 age bracket (!!) had "moderate to severe menopause symptoms using the validated Menopause Rating Scale (MRS)."

'We had a significant number of women who are typically thought to be too young for perimenopause tell us that they have high levels of perimenopause-related symptoms,' said Liudmila Zhaunova, PhD, director of science at Flo. 'It's important that we keep doing research to understand better what is happening with these women so that they can get the care they need.'

Researchers are pointing fingers at modern delights like stress, obesity, and those pesky environmental toxins we've all come to love (thanks Bill Gates). And young women aren't too keen on visiting their local doctors (who can blame them?).

'Despite high symptom burden, younger women are far less likely to seek medical help for perimenopause. The study found that while 51.5% of women over 56 consulted a doctor, only 4.3% of 30-35-year-olds did. However, among those who sought medical advice, over a quarter of 30-35-year-olds and 40% of 36-40-year-olds were diagnosed as perimenopausal.'

People had thoughts:

RFK right about now...

While women's hormones are doing the cha-cha into chaos, men aren't exactly thriving either.

Testosterone levels and sperm counts are tanking faster than a bad sitcom β€” studies show a jaw-dropping 50-60% drop over recent decades.

Fewer swimmers, less mojo, and now perimenopause gate-crashing early? It's a fertility apocalypse. Birth rates are nosediving globally, and experts are sweating bullets.

Humans could face reproductive crisis as sperm count declines, study finds Global figures suggest sperm concentration has halved in 40 years – and the rate of decline is accelerating WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/nov/15/humans-could-face-reproductive-crisis-as-sperm-count-declines-study-finds

A study published in the journal Human Reproduction Update, based on 153 estimates from men who were probably unaware of their fertility, suggests that the average sperm concentration fell from an estimated 101.2m per ml to 49.0m per ml between 1973 and 2018 - a drop of 51.6%. Total sperm counts fell by 62.3% during the same period.

With women's reproductive windows shrinking and men's contributions fading, humanity might just sarcastic-slow-clap itself into a population crisis.

Who needs sci-fi when reality's this wild?

Perhaps it’s because a lot of them aren’t married and getting enough sex.

I’d be interested in additional factors, especially BMI (even as flawed as that index might be).

Bill Gates has dedicated his post Microsoft life to population reduction.

Bill Gates orgs were collaborating with the Wuhan Lab

Gates was a major player in the recent unpleasantness.

We are now seeing a trend towards a decline child bearing ability along with a huge uptick in excess death rates

Coincidence?

Two things:

1) Insulin resistance has DIRECT impact on fertility
2) Overuse of hormonal contraceptive

Have you taken a look at the younger generation of the female persuasion lately?

It’s pretty grim out there

Few more notes:

- Insulin resistance is directly correlated with fertility status...but not necessarily BMI as some skinny women also have insulin issues.

- But on the topic of BMI, obesity is often cited as one of the main reasons why maternal mortality (during childbirth) is higher in our country than in other developed ones.

Yes because for all the “feminism” of recent decades, women’s health research has actually taken a DOWNTURN in funding and focus...Barely a peep in med textbooks traditionally about conditions like Endometriosis which affect 10% of the world’s women.

Why? Because enough companies profited from Birth Control contraptions and throwing it at every problem a woman has, PLUS the focus of feminism centered on birth ‘control’ — in essence, becoming more like men — instead appreciating and honoring the full scope of the female body at every stage of life.

And now IVF has gotten way out of hand.

I had to check if this was the Babylon Bee when I read about the MRS!
