When Houston was going through menopause and asked various medical “experts” about her own experiences, she always got contradictory answers. It’s just as important for doctors to know the signs and symptoms of menopause, as for women, she stresses.
Heidi Houston, Hot Flash Havoc Executive Producer
“We need to educate women about menopause, what their options are and understand the questions they can ask,” especially when many doctors these days don’t give you much time to talk during visits, Houston said in an interview with “The Doctor’s Channel”. Questions such as sexual dysfunction, for example – which can be a symptom of menopause – “that takes longer than 15 minutes” to talk about thoroughly with your doctor, Houston says.
“Hot Flash Havoc” will clarify the confusion surrounding hormones and is a must-see film for any woman over 35 years old.
“Every woman’s going to go through menopause … a lot of people don’t talk about it and a lot of women don’t know anything about it,” Houston said in another interview with “Fox 17″.
For example, did you know that women begin going through pre-menopause as early as in their thirties?!
“If they really want to know what’s going to happen in life, this movie’s at least going to educate them about what’s going to happen. And it’s entertaining and fun,” Houston said. At the very least, she added, when you walk out of movie, you can be more of a health-care advocate for yourself.
But it’s not just for women – men should tune in, as well.
“It’s not a solo journey,” Houston said.
