Halle Berry’s Doctor Mistakenly Told Her She Had The “Worst Case Of Herpes” When She Was Actually Experiencing Perimenopause


“He says, ‘Halle, you have a new guy right?’ I said ‘I do, I'm really excited.’ He said, 'You messed up again... You have the worst case of herpes I have ever seen.”

For those who don’t know, perimenopause refers to the time that the body naturally transitions into menopause. Board-certified OB-GYN Dr Mary Claire Haver explained to BuzzFeed last year, “Perimenopause is when you begin to notice some of the symptoms when your body is starting to register that something's changing in your hormonal life. But the normal curve is still around 45 to 55, so if perimenopause can begin 7 to 10 years before that, it is not unreasonable for a woman in her late 30s, definitely early 40s, to start experiencing some changes,” she added.
