Infertility is the focus of this week’s “Healthful,” where Dr. Temeka Zore joins Norah to discuss why difficulties getting pregnant should be reframed as a medical disease.
The program addresses misconceptions about endometriosis, PMOS, formerly known as PCOS, and egg freezing. Zore also offers advice to women who may want children in the future but are not ready to have them now.
She argues that infertility is not a person’s fault and says the menstrual cycle should be treated as another vital sign, alongside blood pressure and heart rate.
