女性健康应用Flo宣布将为7600万月活跃用户推出专门针对围绝经期（perimenopause）的功能。此前，Flo主要专注于生殖健康，提供经期和排卵追踪以及孕期管理。此次扩展将帮助用户追踪围绝经期的症状，如月经不规律、潮热、情绪变化、疲劳和睡眠障碍。新功能“Flo for Perimenopause”将提供个性化指导，并引入“围绝经期评分”以评估症状影响。此外，用户还能获得医疗专家支持，并在匿名社区“Secret Chats”中与其他用户交流，同时获取专家制作的教育内容。该功能将于7月21日全面上线。

🤰 **扩展服务范围，关注女性生命周期新阶段**：女性健康应用Flo，此前以追踪经期、排卵和孕期为主，现已将服务范围扩展至围绝经期（perimenopause）阶段，旨在为处于该阶段或对此阶段感到好奇的用户提供支持。

📊 **提供全面的症状追踪与评估工具**：新推出的“Flo for Perimenopause”功能允许用户追踪和管理包括月经不规律、潮热、情绪波动、疲劳及睡眠障碍在内的围绝经期症状。同时，“围绝经期评分”将帮助用户量化和理解这些症状对其健康的影响。

👩‍⚕️ **整合专家资源与社群支持**：用户不仅能获得由100多位医学专家合作制作的教育内容，还能连接到医疗专家和妇产科医生，并在匿名的“Secret Chats”功能中与其他用户交流，获得情感和信息上的支持。

💡 **解决信息不对称，赋能女性健康管理**：一项调查显示，多数女性对围绝经期缺乏充分了解，且症状严重影响生活质量。Flo此举旨在通过提供准确信息和实用工具，帮助女性更好地应对和管理围绝经期带来的挑战，提升生活质量。

Women's health app Flo will soon bring features specifically for perimenopause to its 76 million monthly active users.

Previously, Flo focused on reproductive health, and called itself a period and ovulation tracker, and a pregnancy app. Now, Flo is branching out to help people track symptoms of perimenopause, the transitional period between menstruation and menopause. The new in-app offering will be called "Flo for Perimenopause," and provide personalized guidance for those who are in, about to enter, or curious about this stage of life.

In a 2024 survey Flo conducted of 1,446 U.S. women aged 34-49, 54 percent said they don't feel adequately informed about perimenopause and its potential symptoms and effects on their health. Another, smaller survey from Flo (of 337 women in the U.S. aged 35-54 who said they were going through perimenopause), 72 percent said their symptoms limited their life experiences. Self-esteem, sex, and social lives were the top-affected areas.

Flo for Perimenopause will allow users to track and manage their symptoms, like cycle irregularities, hot flashes, mood changes, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. This is similar to how Flo already tracks and manages users' periods. Users can also receive a "Perimenopause Score," which is a tool to evaluate and help users understand the impact of perimenopause symptoms.

Flo users will also be able to get support from medical experts and OBGYNs and connect with other users in an anonymous in-app feature called Secret Chats. The app will also feature educational content made in collaboration with over 100 medical experts.

"A tool like Flo for Perimenopause could be truly transformative for the many women I see who arrive confused, overwhelmed, and unaware of what their bodies are going through — simply because no one ever taught them what to expect," said Dr. Sameena Rahman, a board-certified OBGYN, sex-med gynecologist, and menopause specialist, in Flo's press release.

Flo for Perimenopause will be available to all users starting July 21.
