Medication side effects,menopausal symptoms, anxiety about long term health, sexual difficulty, emotional lability - all contribute to women feeling under supported however good their cancer care was. 

 

• Do you know when HRT can be used in your patient group?

• Do you prepare women prior to BRCA testing or risk reducing surgery about the impact of early menopause?

• Can you discuss the evidence for alternative treatments to manage symptoms?

• What is a woman's experience of induced menopause?

• Are you up to date on  vaginal treatments - SERMS, lasers, DHEA,  as well as oestrogen ?

• Do you shy away from the sex issues which might effect women after induced menopause?
