88 – Endometriosis, surgical menopause and getting the right hormone treatments
Streams straight from the publisher. podnod never proxies or re-hosts episode audio.
Having your ovaries removed causes an immediate menopause, yet many women are still told to simply ‘see how they get on’ afterwards.
This week, Dr Louise Newson is joined by Laura Daly, who shares her experience of surgical menopause at the age of 37 following treatment for severe endometriosis. Having seen first-hand how hormonetreatment transformed her mother’s life after PMDD, Laura knew she wanted to understand her options before surgery and advocate for the care she needed.
Together they discuss why replacing hormones after surgical menopause is about far more than relieving symptoms. Laura shares how she experienced brain fog, anxiety, joint pain, palpitations, poor sleep and a loss of confidence despite being prescribed a standard dose of HRT, and explains the remarkable improvements she noticed once her hormone treatment was personalised.
Louise and Laura also explore why hormone treatments should be individualised, why women who have their ovaries removed lose more than just estrogen and why treating the underlying hormone deficiency is so important for both current symptoms and future health.
Louise and Laura discuss:
Why women need a plan for hormone replacement before surgical menopause
Why replacing oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone can all be important
Why hormone treatment should be tailored to the individual, not standardised
The long-term health benefits of optimising hormones after early menopause
Why women deserve informed choices about their treatment after ovary removal
This episode is an empowering conversation about advocatingfor better care, understanding your hormones and ensuring women receive the treatment they need to protect both their quality of life and their future health.
