One in 8 women in the United States will have her ovaries removed prior to the onset of natural menopause, and this number is growing. On top of that, each year about 600,000 hysterectomies are performed and more than 300,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, many under the age of 50.
If you or someone you love experienced this kind of procedure, you may be asking “now what?”.
What are the impacts on the rest of your body when you experience abrupt menopause? Do other health risks increase? And what about breast cancer?
This week, we are joined by Dr. Corinne Menn, a board-certified OB-GYN, a breast cancer survivor of over 23 years, and a BRCA gene carrier. Dr. Menn is using her own experience to help women navigate health challenges, especially when dealing with the impacts of being a cancer survivor or experiencing abrupt menopause.
If you or someone you know has had her ovaries removed, had a hysterectomy, or even experienced breast cancer, then this episode is for you.
