Headline: Halle Berry's STD scare turned out to be perimenopause

Caption:

The Oscar-winning actress shared that an instance of painful sex led to a major misdiagnosis by her doctor. Halle recalled on a discussion panel alongside First Lady Jill Biden, "I feel like I have razor blades in my vagina. I run to my gynaecologist and I say, 'Oh my God, what's happening?' It was terrible. He said, 'You have the worst case of herpes I've ever seen.' I'm like, 'Herpes? I don't have herpes!'" Halle, 57, then confronted her partner, 54-year-old singer-songwriter Van Hunt - but after testing, they were both found to be free of the virus.
