54-year-old Halle Berry revealed misdiagnosis of perimenopause symptoms as severe herpes.

54-year-old Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry revealed that she was once misdiagnosed with a severe case of herpes by her doctor. Berry experienced intense pain during sex and sought medical assistance, but her symptoms were incorrectly identified as the "worst case of herpes" her doctor had ever seen. Both Berry and her partner were tested and neither had the infection. The actress later discovered that the symptoms were actually related to perimenopause and decided to use her platform to raise awareness about the condition and change cultural perceptions of women during this stage of life.
