Host Dora Thorhallsdottir, herself a menopausal woman, has been a vocal advocate for openness about the topic for many years. In the series, she shares her own experiences with hot flashes, anger, depression, and mental fog, which eventually became so distressing that she underwent hormone therapy.

Through personal stories and professional perspectives, viewers gain insight into what menopause can mean, and what options exist for support and treatment.

Every year, over 27,000 women in Norway enter menopause without sufficient knowledge of what awaits them. Lack of insight can lead to unnecessary worry and stress. Symptoms such as hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood swings, difficulty concentrating and depression are common, and for many this can affect both quality of life, work life and close relationships.

There are still many women who do not know what is happening in their bodies, or what options exist for support, treatment and facilitation.

The film series was developed by the Norwegian Women's Sanitary Association in collaboration with the film company Leidar and director Marianne Kleven.

Women's oral health – a life course perspective

Women's oral health is affected by hormonal changes, life stages, and conditions that occur more frequently in women. Puberty, pregnancy, menopause, and old age can affect gums, caries risk, saliva production, and mucosal health.

Eating disorders, autoimmune diseases, osteoporosis, and long-term jaw and facial pain can also have consequences for oral health and quality of life. A women's health perspective helps to see the oral cavity in the context of general health, prevention, and the need for multidisciplinary follow-up.

Quality of life, social support and stress among immigrant women

How are quality of life, social support and stress affected during pregnancy and after birth?

New research on chronic migraine – can more women have a better life?

Chronic migraine affects women far more often than men and can have a major impact on work, family life and quality of life.

The NorMig study is a new Norwegian, randomized study investigating whether combination therapy can provide better treatment for people with chronic migraine than current standard treatment.

Anne Hege Aamodt, senior consultant at the Department of Neurology, Oslo University Hospital, leads the stroke and headache research group at OUS and the NorMig study.

Doctors have invented the hymen, cut off the clitoris and given the uterus its own will. Based on the book "Avkledd" and historical objects from the collection at The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology Nina Brochmann tells how a male-dominated history of medicine has morbidized and treated women's bodies and sexual pleasure.

Through historical examples, we see how notions of women's sexuality have influenced both medicine and the view of the female body, and how this has left traces that are still visible today.

Midwife Marit Stene Severinsen, from the Health Center for Undocumented Migrants and the National Hospital, gives a guest tour of the exhibition "Life and Death" where we follow Sara, an undocumented woman through pregnancy, birth and maternity leave.

Women's health is more than diagnoses and illness. A woman's life is more than puberty, pregnancy, childbirth and menopause. We lack a word for "positive mental health", which is not about suffering and problems.

In public health research, the term "well-being" is often used . In our kitchen table conversations, we call it quality of life. Quality of life is about the ability to function and feel good, and about the interaction between people and the environment around us, such as family, work, school and the local community.

The performance "Born in the Right Body" is an uncompromising and confronting story about what it is like to be trans in Norway. It is about painful experiences and discrimination in the face of transphobic social structures, but also about love, community and the joy of finding oneself.

After the performance, there will be a conversation about how the concept of women's health affects transgender and non-binary people, with author and trans activist Luca Dalen Espseth.
