026 - Surgical Menopause - Dr Rebecca Lewis & Dr Louise Newson
Tuesday Dec 03, 2019
Tuesday Dec 03, 2019
In this week's episode, Dr Louise Newson chats to her good friend, Dr Rebecca Lewis, who is also a clinical director at Newson Health Menopause and Wellbeing Centre. Together they discuss surgical menopause. Surgical menopause can often be very different to a natural menopause because it happens very suddenly. Women who have their ovaries removed during an operation are plunged into the menopause straight away. In addition, women who have a hysterectomy without their ovaries being removed still have a higher risk of an early menopause. Dr Newson and Dr Lewis discuss the most effective ways of treating surgical menopause.
Dr Lewis' Three Take Home Tips:
- Think about menopause before your surgery - be aware of the symptoms you may experience.
- Discuss HRT with your surgeon before surgery.
- Have a solution and treatment plan in place before the operation.

Just had a total abdominal hysterectomy & bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy a few weeks ago. Was given very little pre op advice and discharged with even less post op advice. HRT was brushed over quickly during previous consultant appointments with statements of don’t worry that will be sorted out at the time, yes you need hrt because of your age and osteoporosis risks. I’m shocked at what I’m finding out and the fight to get started on hrt & now the fight to get my hrt increased. Thanks for this
