We\u2019ve gone from silence to an influx of oversimplified, unverified advice that makes it harder for many women to understand what\u2019s actually happening in their bodies. Doctors are increasingly cautioning women to be skeptical of unproven solutions and to seek medically validated guidance.<sup>1<\/sup> To combat this, <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fflo.health%2F&amp;esheet=54536257&amp;newsitemid=20260514181897&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Flo+Health&amp;index=1&amp;md5=9eb15f1c4f483c83e108ebe4ff8b2928\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">Flo Health<\/a>, the #1 OBGYN recommended women\u2019s health app, is launching new, doctor-backed and medically-verified perimenopause tools to help dispel confusion and allow women to proactively take control of their health.<\/p><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20260514181897\/en\/2805700\/5\/Flo_Health_Logo.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20260514181897\/en\/2805700\/22\/Flo_Health_Logo.jpg\" \/><\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20260514181897\/en\/2805700\/5\/Flo_Health_Logo.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20260514181897\/en\/2805700\/21\/Flo_Health_Logo.jpg\" \/><\/a><p>\nAccording to a recent Flo study, 1 in 3 women in the US aged 35+ still don\u2019t know if they\u2019re in perimenopause, underscoring a persistent gap between rising awareness and real understanding.<sup>2<\/sup> That gap shows up clearly in how women describe their own experience. In a new, nationally represented consumer survey conducted by Flo Health and Wakefield Research, 66% of U.S. women age 38-50 said they felt better prepared to enter puberty than perimenopause - a stark reflection of how this life stage remains under-explained, under-supported, and often misunderstood.<\/p><p>\nAnd the consequences are deeply personal. The same survey found that 52% of women in relationships say perimenopause has impacted their romantic partnerships, while 48% say it has affected their ability to exercise and stay active, highlighting how this life stage can ripple into nearly every aspect of daily life.<\/p><p>\n\u201cWe\u2019re finally talking about perimenopause - but we\u2019re still getting it wrong,\u201d says Anna Klepchukova, Chief Medical Officer at Flo. \u201cWomen in their 40s are confident, empowered people being left guessing what is happening to their bodies because they are navigating a flood of conflicting narratives about their health. Flo is focused on bringing clarity through evidence-based, medically-backed insights women can trust, which we believe is more important than ever as the perimenopause conversation continues to rise.\u201d<\/p><p>\nTo close this gap between confusion and clarity, Flo is announcing four new and updated in-app tools, powered by doctors, that work together to give women a complete picture of their health and meet them wherever they may be on their perimenopause journey.<\/p><ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n<b><i>Tools for Reducing Uncertainty:<\/i><\/b>\n<ul class=\"bwlistcircle\">\n<li>\n<b>Perimenopause Symptom Checker <\/b>is a self-assessment that helps you understand and figure out if your current symptoms might be a match to perimenopause.<\/li>\n<li>\n<b>Perimenopause Score<\/b> - Get a score that reflects how severely your symptoms are impacting you, and track how they\u2019re changing over time.
