Sol Vega discusses menopause challenges during BBB 26
Sol Vega, a former participant of the reality show BBB 26, has shared her experience of undergoing menopause during her time in confinement. The 48-year-old influencer stated that she was already experiencing climacteric symptoms before entering the program but was not receiving adequate medical treatment or monitoring.
Vega explained that the combination of intense hormonal changes and the high-stress environment of the reality show—characterized by sleep deprivation and a lack of routine—exacerbated her symptoms, including hot flashes, irritability, anxiety, and mood swings. She noted that these physical and mental shifts contributed to her behavior, which ultimately led to her expulsion from the program.
Medical experts, including gynecologist Fernanda Torras, noted that menopause can significantly impact quality of life through symptoms such as insomnia, anxiety, memory difficulties, and mood changes. The reports highlight Vega's effort to use her experience to reduce the social taboo surrounding menopause and encourage women to seek proper medical guidance.
