Dr Sarah Glynne: Long Covid & Menopause

The Menopause Sisters

October 17, 2022 ∙ 40 mins
Episode 24

About

Dr Claire & Caroline talk to Dr Sarah Glynne about the link between link between Covid-19 and female hormones.


Sarah graduated from Imperial College in 1999 and became a member of the Royal College of Physicians in 2002 and then switched to general practice, becoming a member of the Royal College of General Practitioners in 2006. In 2016 she completed a Master of Science degree in allergy.


She has been developing an interest in the menopause since 2018 and is on the Advisory Board, as well as the Editorial Board, of the Newson Health Menopause Society. She is particularly interested in the link between Covid-19 and female hormones, and believes that covid-19 induced hormonal perturbations are a barrier to recovery in many female patients with long Covid, unless treated with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). 

 

Dr Glynne is also interested in the management of menopausal symptoms in breast cancer survivors. She is co-chair of a newly established breast cancer working group that is currently developing a consensus statement to raise awareness about the risks and benefits of HRT for women with a history of breast cancer. The consensus statement will hopefully be available in early 2022.
