## Resource

Is hormone replacement therapy actually the cancer risk doctors warned you about for two decades? India's leading endocrinologist, Dr. Ambrish Mithal, joins Sonal Mehrotra Kapoor on Doctor vs Internet to unpack the science behind menopause, hormone therapy, and the male equivalent nobody talks about: andropause. In this deep dive, we explore how a single flawed 2002 US study got misapplied to an entire generation of women, why the FDA reversed its cancer-risk guidance in February 2026, and what "MHT" actually means for Indian women, who hit menopause 4 to 5 years earlier than the global average. We also get into declining testosterone in men, bone health, vasomotor symptoms, and the biggest myths around weight gain and "starting HRT means you can never stop." This is not medical advice. It's a science backed conversation to help you ask your doctor the right questions. Tune in! Produced by Taniya Dutta Sound mixed by Suraj Singh
