A US study published in the journal *Menopause* indicates that while approximately 50 percent of men notice changes in their partners experiencing perimenopause and menopause, only 26 percent correctly attribute these changes to the hormonal shift. Slightly fewer associated the changes with natural aging. This lack of understanding can lead to problematic reactions, such as disbelief or concern regarding hormone therapy, as highlighted by Alexandra in the podcast *Tridsiatnik*. The study underscores a significant gap in men’s knowledge regarding these common female life stages. Increased awareness and education are needed to support partners and foster a more informed approach to managing perimenopause and menopause. This demonstrates a need for better communication and understanding within relationships navigating these transitions. The research comes from a study conducted in the United States.
