Women’s Health: Menopause and Being Used to Pain Delays Care

Women are often taught to push through discomfort, take care of everyone else, and keep going even when something feels wrong. In this episode, Dr. Kat shares a personal story about ignoring knee pain after a fall, only to learn later that she had been walking on a broken kneecap.From there, she explores a deeper pattern in women’s health: how being used to pain, monthly discomfort, and even menopause-related changes can make it easier to dismiss symptoms and delay care. This is a grounded, honest conversation about self-neglect, awareness, and why taking your own pain seriously matters.If you have been putting off an appointment, brushing something aside, or telling yourself you will deal with it later, listen in for a direct reminder to treat yourself with the same care, kindness, and attention you give everyone else. I want to hear from you!  To submit show ideas or be considered as a guest, visit https://chatwithdrkat.com/contact/Follow Chat with Dr. Kat:Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/chatwithdrkatInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/chatwithdrkatYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@chatwithdrkatTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@chatwithdrkatX:  https://x.com/ChatwithDrKatHealth & Wellness Programs:https://mindbodyseries.com/
