Halle Berry Recalls Her Doctor Saying She Had the 'Worst Case of Herpes' He'd Ever Seen — but It Was Perimenopause

Halle Berry opened up about learning she was in perimenopause after her doctor mistook her symptoms and told her she had the “worst case of herpes” he’d ever seen.

Perimenopause refers to the time where the body starts to make its natural transition to menopause, which marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. Berry explained that when she was 54 she met the “man of my dreams” and started dating Grammy-winning musician Van Hunt. Sharing details about her sex life, the Oscar winner recalled having extreme pain after intercourse one day so she immediately visited her doctor.
