Thinking About Ob/Gyn

Episode 10.13 Estrogen, Free Birth, And Misinformation


Listen Later

We unpack what WHI actually showed about estrogen-only therapy and breast cancer in light of new supporting data, then confront the free birth trend’s preventable harms and the business model behind it. We share clear tools to spot false claims, review new aspirin data on preeclampsia, and outline twelve practical ways to cut waste in gyn surgery.

• estrogen-only therapy associated with lower breast cancer diagnosis and mortality
• combined estrogen plus progestogen neutralizing estrogen’s protective signal
• rare abdominal pregnancy case illustrating basic testing safeguards
• free birth movement risks, censorship of bad outcomes, and money incentives
• red flags in birth-related posts and the SIFT fact-checking method
• four quick filters to vet social content before sharing
• nuanced view on aspirin for preeclampsia with mixed trial evidence
• twelve surgical sustainability steps that save cost and reduce waste
