83. Surgical Menopause, BRCA Mutations, and Hormone therapy.. Oh My!

In this episode, Dr. Hirsh talks about surgical menopause and its implications on your health especially if you were premenopausal at the time of your surgery. She also walks you through the risks and benefits of hormone therapy and discusses some of the most optimal ways to do so. Special attention is given to women who undergo risk reduction surgery to reduce their risk of ovarian cancer and what options these women have after surgical menopause.
