Episode 125 - Hormonal Health with Prof Bronwyn Stuckey and Dr Kharis Burns [Women's Health Series]
Continuing our series on women’s health, Ingrid and Craig sat down for a chat with respected endocrinologists Prof Bronwyn Stuckey from the Keogh Institute and Dr Kharis Burns from Royal Perth Hospital.
We discussed a range of women’s health issues that endocrinologists help their patients deal with, such as diabetes, and reproductive health issues ranging from menstrual issues through to IVF and menopause.
Bronwyn and Kharis talked us through some of the treatments that they prescribe, as well as stressing the importance of women checking in with their Dr when they feel like reproductive health issues are impacting negatively on their quality of life, so that their Dr can discuss the available treatment options.
They discussed some of the common risk factors that they help their patients manage during pregnancy, and addressed some of the misleading headlines about supposed risks associated with treatments such as menopausal hormone therapy. We also touched on the challenges that many women face as they navigate peri-menopause.
