We can’t imagine Salma Hayek ageing but that’s what’s happening here. You won’t believe it but she is in menopause. She is 54 and going through the same things all older women experience.
Salma told that this is something she wants to bring into her recent acting role. She explained that the role was meant to be about a woman in her 40s, while she insisted on it being a woman in her 50s, going through all this stuff and still doing all the action. “We had to convince some people.” – she added.
There was a lot of discussion about demystifying specific symptoms and process of menopause which are related to women’s ageing process. On this topic, Salma added that there were some surprising effects – like for example, her boobs grew larger.
Salma Hayek opened up about the sensitive subject
Salma told that many people thought she had breast augmentation, as her breasts grew few sizes. “For some women, breasts get smaller or they gain weight or lose weight, it’s a lot of changes. I just happen to be one of those women who got bigger breasts in every transition we experience.”
“This took a toll on my backs and I really suffer from it. Not many people talk about this but it is a big problem for health.” – She added.
Salma described a lot of symptoms that were actually really scary like your ears can grow and there could be hair growing out of them. Mustache, beard, depression and being overly emotional are just minor symptoms.
Gaining a ton of weight that doesn’t go away no matter what you do can also be a huge problem in this period. The doctor will also ask if you have a narrow vagina or a dry vagina. These are all just common things that nobody talks about.
Hot flashes, sleep issues, night sweats and the rest is what usually happens for all women. So, Salma decided to make it more normal and acceptable, not something to be ashamed about!
