When menopause arrives naturally, your hormones shift over years. There’s space to notice change - to adjust, to transition.
Surgical menopause doesn’t offer that. It’s a cliff-edge - all to nothing.
One day your hormones are there, the next they’re gone - and your body is forced to recalibrate overnight.
Dr Corinne Menn, OB-GYN, menopause specialist and breast cancer survivor, joins me to explain why early and surgical menopause cause more abrupt, severe symptoms and mental health effects, how the lack of pre-operative counselling leads to preventable suffering and what treatment and support is available is this is something you or a friend are experiencing.
