160. Dr. Shieva Ghofrany (OB/GYN, Ovarian Cancer Survivor and Women’s Health Advocate)

INTERLUDE: Cancer Stories with Dr. Teplinsky

On today’s episode, I am speaking with Dr. Shieva Ghofrany. Dr. Ghofrany is a board-certified OB/GYN who has been in private practice for 25 years. She is the co-creator of TRIBE CALLED V and her intention is to help and guide women and people with vulvas and ovaries while addressing the mindset of fear surrounding health issues. Dr. Ghofrany has also experienced the health system as a patient through miscarriages, endometriosis, and ovarian cancer – it is these experiences combined with her professional expertise that make her an incredible advocate for women’s health. On today’s episode, we talk all about ovarian cancer – including her personal experience, gynecologic care (what happens during a pelvic exam and why you still need one even if you don’t need a Pap smear), cancer screening, menopausal hormone therapy after gynecologic cancer and much more. You can find Dr. Ghofrany on Instagram or on her website.
