The world of perimenopause is unfamiliar to a lot of women out there. Everyone’s bodies are different and so are their experiences as they enter new chapter’s of their lives. Whether that is menstruation, fertility or menopause there is a lot of unknown.
Studies show that only 12% of women really understand what perimenopause is and how it can affect their bodies. This means that the majority of women are left in the dark when it comes to their health and unsure of where to turn to for help. Perimenopause can be difficult to understand, especially when education surrounding it is so lacking. Each woman experiences a different set of symptoms on a different timeline, so it’s necessary to have resources to guide them through this unique experience.
For example, did you know that women in their late 30s can begin to experience perimenopause symptoms? There is a common misconception that perimenopause is delegated to only women in their 40s and 50s, but that is not true. Additionally, many people are aware of hot flashes, but few know other signs and symptoms of perimenopause that may come before that. This means that many symptoms associated with perimenopause go unnoticed leaving women feeling uncomfortable with their bodies.
“ For many women, some initial signs may be that they have trouble sleeping, or have a difficult time staying focused on tasks. People may experience more anxiety or become agitated more easily. Some women may need to use the restroom more frequently, or feel really tired and worn out,” explains Proov CEO Dr. Amy Beckley.
It is important for women to understand what their bodies are going through so they can learn to manage their discomfort. But how can they do that whe education and resources are not highlighted? Proov Empower is breaking the barriers on women’s health education and giving them the resources and testing to take their power back.
Proov Empower is revolutionizing perimenopause testing with its newest at-home hormone test. It’s a noninvasive urine test that tracks four key hormones including FSH, estrogen marker E1G, progesterone marker PdG, and LH. This test is helping women understand what phase of life they are in, in an accessible and affordable way.
Not only does this test track hormone levels but it evaluates menstrual cycle changes and helps women understand the symptoms they are experiencing. The education does not just stop with the test, but continues by providing advice and other methods to manage symptoms. Proov Empower is giving women the power to feel like their true selves.
“At Proov, we have spent nearly a decade helping women understand their hormones so they can feel empowered, in control of their bodies, and thrive. We are thrilled to announce our commitment to creating a world where women are in control of their hormonal journey at every stage of their lives with the Proov Empower Perimenopause Testing System,” says Beckley.
Perimenopause testing and education is the key to giving women power over their health. Following a path blindly does not help women feel confident in themselves or in their bodies. Perimenopause is already such a vulnerable chapter for many, and having an in-accessibility to education does harm for so many.
Women’s health education is many times put on the backburner, but Proov Empower is changing that discourse and prioritizing women no matter what chapter of life they are in. Providing support for women not only helps them physically but mentally as well. Proov Empower is doing just that; empowering women to make informed decisions about their bodies and advocate for their health.
Proov Empower is getting ready to launch on July 16th for Amazon Prime Day.
