Ep 24 | When Bleeding Isn’t *Just* Perimenopause: The Need-to-Know about Gynecological Cancers
Perimenopause is already a rollercoaster—hot flashes, brain fog, and now…SURPRISE! cancer screenings.
In this episode of OvaryActive, Amy and Rebecca sit down with Gynecologic Oncologist Fernanda Musa, MD MS to tackle the less-fun-but-super-important reality: perimenopause is also prime time for gynecologic cancers.
Think of it as the sequel nobody asked for, but everybody needs to watch.
Dr. Musa brings her scalpel-sharp expertise (she is a surgeon, afterall ) and a refreshingly candid approach to topics we'd rather avoid. Cervical and uterine cancers and pesky fibroids that multiply like bad ex-boyfriends both made the list.
She tells you what's common, what's rare, and when you should actually worry. Hmmm…not every bloated belly means ovarian cancer, but you shouldn't ignore it either.
Bottom line? Now you'll know when to laugh off your perimenopausal chaos, and when to call your gynecologist.
