TV and radio presenter Jenny Powell joins Dr Oscar Duke for an open, honest conversation about perimenopause, chronic pain, and major surgery – and what it takes to keep going when your body starts changing faster than you can keep up.
Jenny reflects on the invisible symptoms of perimenopause, from brain fog to emotional overwhelm, and how years of discomfort led to a diagnosis of adenomyosis – a condition many women live with in silence.
She shares the story behind her decision to have a robotic hysterectomy to remove her womb and ovaries, how it impacted her physically and emotionally, and why better awareness around women’s health is so urgently needed.
Oscar is also joined by Dr Mahshid Nickkho-Amiry, a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist from HCA Healthcare UK, who explains the stages of perimenopause, and how personalised care and surgical advances can improve quality of life.
