While appearing on “The Drew Barrymore Show” on Tuesday, Halle Berry and host Drew Barrymore revealed that they both are navigating the journey of perimenopause — with Berry sharing that her diagnosis was anything but typical.

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.”

Halle Berry has shared the “defining moment” she had after her doctor misdiagnosed her with herpes. The 58-year-old actor recalled the incident when experiencing menopausal symptoms, during Tuesday’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show. She shared that after one morning when it “took 10 minutes to empty her bladder,” she decided to go to the doctor.

"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 has revealed she was sent into a spin after a doctor misdiagnosed her perimenopause symptoms as herpes - revealing she then spent 72 hours playing the "blame game" with her partner trying to work out how she had contracted the sexually transmitted infection (STI).
