WHI Study Day 1 Dr LaKeischa
WHI Study Day 2 Dr LaKeischa
Here is Day 2 of our story. Again I am not claiming that in the next 5 days I can breakdown a study that 40 clinics participated in and had over 100k women participate. What I do want to do is help you understand it a little more than you did yesterday. And help us start some conversations. ➡️let’s recap. Day 1 and Day 2 are showing you how they divided the women that were participating. If you had a uterus you got both E+P (estrogen and progesterone). If you didn’t have a uterus you were given E (estrogen) only. ➡️ There were also women who were given placebo. This study was designed as a RCT (randomized control trial). The participants were randomized into the different study groups based on predetermined criteria. ➡️ Stay tuned for Day 3! The story is going to get good!

The Social Construct of Menopause the 1700 s Part 1 Dr. LaKeischa
➡️ In the 1700’s one of the prevailing thoughts around women’s health was that since women’s periods stopped “all of a sudden” they must be a weaker spiritual vessel. ➡️ You see as far as science and society knew there were no equivalent physiological disruptions in a man’s body. So this must be a spiritual or mental flaw or weakness. ➡️ Now due to the chemical and physiological changes that women were experiencing they were not acting like themselves anymore. And women were labeled to be in a state of “hysteria”. And because this was a flaw in mind and character there was no medical investigation to be done.
The Social Construct of Menopause the 1800’s Part 2 Dr. LaKeischa
The Social Construct of Menopause early 1900’s part 3 Dr. LaKeischa
➡️ At the turn of the century the theory that menopause a necrosis was taking hold. ➡️ Sigmund Freud’s input into the analysis of women in menopause was that they were unproductive and useless members of society. ➡️ Other psychoanalyst of the times touted their analysis of menopause. A prominent female psychoanalyst, Helen Deutsch postulated that menopause was a normal stage of the human females development. However she went on to share her beliefs that menopause was traumatic for EVERY woman. ➡️ Ultimately the beliefs at this time around menopause was one of loss. Loss of vitality, loss of youth, loss of self-esteem and loss of fertility. ➡️. The working theory at the turn of the century was that menopause was a season of loss. The teaching was that menopause was a physical response to an issue of loss.
The Social Construct of Menopause the 1960s part 4 Dr. LaKeischa
➡️ By the 1960s menopause was portrayed as a time in a woman’s life where she experienced some type of deficiency. The overwhelming consensus of that time was that this deficiency also resulted in a loss of femininity. This deficiency caused society to look at women as “living decay”. In an attempt to combine the new physical theory of menopause with Freud’s existing psychological theory an emerging belief began to take root.
