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 more than 20 years. In this updated video, she shares practical information on managing menopausal symptoms that can arise after a breast cancer diagnosis. Symptoms may be triggered by treatments such as chemotherapy, hormone-blocking therapy and surgery. Stopping MHT can also bring them on.

While some people experience only mild or temporary symptoms, others can have distressing symptoms that seriously disrupt their 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 valuable resource to help guide conversations and care.
