54 - Menopause at 10 years old

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by therapist SaraWitter who shares her deeply personal and shocking experience of being menopausal as a child.
Sara describes how she lost most of her ovarian function at just 10 years old following surgery for large dermoid cysts, and the long-lasting impact this had on her physical and mental health. Despite years of symptoms including extreme fatigue, pain, heavy bleeding, mood changes andpostnatal psychosis, the role of hormones was repeatedly overlooked.
This powerful conversation highlights the importance oflistening, thinking beyond textbook definitions and ensuring that women of all ages are given the knowledge and treatment they need.
