Can removing ovaries in young women with endometriosis do more harm than good? Join us asa we discuss the critical long-term implications of surgical decisions with Dr. Cindy Mosbrucker. We tackle the often-overlooked consequences of oophorectomy (removal of ovaries), such as accelerated aging, bone brittleness, and cognitive decline. Dr. Mosbrucker emphasizes the necessity of comprehensive patient discussions and appropriate hormone replacement therapy to mitigate these effects. We also examine the disparity in medical approaches between genders, questioning how differently men's health issues would be handled.
Discover the truth about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) that many women have been missing. Dr. Mosbrucker guides us through the flawed conclusions of the early 2000s Women's Health Initiative study, which led to a widespread cessation of HRT and subsequent health issues. We dissect how this study's design flaws misled women and explore more recent research showing the benefits of estrogen-only HRT, including a lower risk of breast cancer. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how medical research and study designs impact health decisions, and empower yourself with knowledge that’s crucial for navigating this complex landscape.
