In the 4th episode of our Breast Health podcast, PD Dr. med. Constanze Elfgen, Senior Consultant and Breast Surgeon at Affidea brustCare – Breast Center Zurich, and Dr. med. Kristina Bolten, gynecologist at Gynéviva in Zurich Stadelhofen, discuss hormonal changes during menopause and why this phase of life deserves to be reconsidered.

Together, they explore how hormones affect the breast, when hormone replacement therapy may be appropriate, and what really lies behind the often significant fear of breast cancer in connection with hormones. The focus is on education rather than uncertainty: evidence-based, nuanced and easy to understand.

An episode for all women who want to consciously support their breast health and for those who wish to see menopause not only as a loss, but as a new phase of life.
Or: an episode for all women who want clarity instead of confusion and wish to actively take charge of their breast health.

New: this podcast episode is available for the first time as a video on YouTube.
The 4th episode of Breast Health can now be not only listened to, but also watched.
