Hei!
I'm translating an information leaflet about early detection of breast/ovarian cancer, mentioning the above term in case of early menopause, is there an equivalent English term?
Takk!
Alison.

sequelae
From the first reference below: In the medical field, the term sequelae is used to define any complication or condition that results from a pre-existing illness, injury, or other trauma to the body. Some sequelae may also arise from a past medical intervention, such as a vaccine, a specific treatment, or surgery.
You can also call it medical or surgical menopause depending on the cause. https://www.breastcancer.org/treatment-side-effects/menopaus...

Comment: "Thanks, Eodd (et al), I went with this in the end. To be honest, this did cross my mind at first, but normally I see the term 'følgetilstander'."

| Thanks for your response, Leif. However, does this term apply only to cancer? Can it also apply to the menopause? |
