Sharing my experience which definitely is not as bad as yours.
Women's health care is so bad and women doctors barely improved it. I was done at menopause at 40 and never once had a conversation about menopause. I had all female Drs and at a certain point they determined I was seeking pills (please note I have taken a max of three pain pills in my life. I am saying 3 to cover history when I only remember 1.)
Then they took an fish test, told me menopause was complete and that was all my conversation about menopause.
With that said I used to follow an ob/gyn on the bird site named Jen Gunter. She insists that there is no biological need for a period if not trying to get pregnant.
She has a book called "The Vagina Bible"
I have two daughters. One we wanted to control her period for one month so we could enjoy watersports on a vacation. It was complicated for us to get bc and use it as we desired.
My second daughter has the arm implant and hasn't had a period in 5 years. Yah!
