Menopause after Breast Cancer
With Dr Lucy Williams
Menopause After Breast Cancer
Dr Lucy Williams, gynaecologist at the King Edward Menopause Clinic, has cared for people through menopause for over 20 years. In this updated video, she shares helpful and practical information on managing menopausal symptoms that can arise following a diagnosis of breast cancer. Symptoms may be triggered by treatment, including chemotherapy, hormone-blocking therapy, surgery or stopping MHT.
While some people may experience only mild or temporary symptoms, others can have distressing symptoms that totally disrupt quality of life. Dr Williams explains:
- Why menopausal symptoms occur after breast cancer.
- Why oestrogen-containing therapies are not recommended.
- Non-hormonal medications that can help.
- The latest research on fezolinetant (Veoza).
- How to support bone, heart and vaginal health.
Whether you are navigating symptoms after breast cancer or supporting someone who is, this video is a useful resource to help guide conversations and care.
