When Menopause Comes Without Warning
Navigating Treatment-Induced Menopause After Cancer
Menopause does not always arrive gradually or at the expected stage of life. For some women, cancer treatment can bring on menopause suddenly, creating a new set of physical, emotional, and psychological challenges while they are already navigating recovery.
In this recorded session from the Global Menoeduca-thon 2026, Dr. Sulbha Arya, an Oncologist and Midlife Hormonal Health Specialist from India, explores the often-overlooked experience of treatment-induced menopause after cancer.
This session offers an important perspective on what happens after cancer treatment—when surviving cancer is only one part of the journey and women must also learn to understand and rebuild their health.
