Halle previously revealed that she discovered she was going through perimenopause after being left to do her own research when her doctor mistakenly told her she had “the worst case of herpes.”

"And then a couple of hours after that, my doctor called me and said, 'You do not have herpes'," she went on, describing the revelation as a 'defining moment' in her life. Since then, she has attempted to raise awareness of 'dry vagina syndrome' - a symptom of perimenopause.

Halle Berry's doctor misdiagnosed her perimenopause symptoms as herpes. The Hollywood actress, 58, has revealed she was sent into a spin after being told she had the sexually transmitted infection (STI) and she then spent 72 hours with her partner Van Hunt playing the "blame game" trying to work out how she had contracted herpes.
