Avatar n tn I am on 200 mg prometrium /5 mg estradiol, and metformin as well as tirosint. The prometrium and estradiol is for hot flashes. The metformin for prediabetes, couldn't get my a1c down, and tirosint for thyroid disease. My question is this...the prometrium and estradiol are causing my blood sugars to stay high, as well as make me very tired, as well as making me gain weight. I walk briskly at least 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour daily. I watch what I eat, low sugars, etc.

18070169 tn?1463175914 Any time your estrogen level drops, you might get hot flashes or headaches. Not a big deal.

Avatar f tn I take estrogen patch & medroxyprogesteron pill &also I have hot flashes. I'm only 33yrs old.
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm not sure this is the right place for this question, but I'm sort of desperate. I've been experiencing hot flashes, hair loss, dry eyes, and irregular periods for about eight months. I'm only twenty-four, so these symptoms have been worrying me quite a bit. I visited my doctor in June, and he ordered a thyroid test. My results were completely normal. I shrugged everything off to stress and went on with my life. Unfortunately, the hot flashes became worse.
Avatar f tn It did relieve the hot flashes but I think it has also caused depression and joint pain (knees and feet). UGH! I just took it off and threw it away. NOT WORTH IT.
Avatar f tn My estradiol went from less then 15 to 454. Not on any hormone therapy except for OTC Estroven. Hot flashes have stopped maybe because my estrogen has gone nuclear. Just had that level rechecked and waiting for results but doctor worried that something ovarian could be going on. Having a hard time finding any information on high estradiol levels. Any ideas?
Avatar m tn It can also cause abdominal pain, genital moniliasis, vaginitis and vaginal discomfort. It can also cause insomnia or hot flashes. Hence I suggest you to get this drug changed to some other estradiol tablets for atrophic vaginitis. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn They also did bloodwork and told me it wasnt harmonal so its not hot flashes... any ideas?!
Avatar n tn I'm 33 y.o. with no period since March and with terrible hot flashes. My MD stated I could have POF. I am done with childbearing so what would my treatment be and why is he testing for Lupus?
216278 tn?1308861082 , it has been determined that I have sub-clinical hypothyroidism and my estrogen levels are low. This is the first month that I have worn an Estradiol patch and am just getting concerned! I know that the best advice and words of wisdom come from those who have experienced it, so I thought that I would start here... Is it possible that this patch can raise my Estrogen to a level that would hinder my chances at pregnancy this month? (I wear it for 10 days after I ovulate!) Thanks!
Avatar f tn I don’t use it no more . . I stop taking it sept 1 so no side effect like hot flashes . I just wanna know what gonna happened long term that’s all.
Avatar m tn three months ago I had Pnemonia and even with using bi -est, I am having hot flashes and night sweats which has never happened to me on a constant basis. My husband thinks the pnemunia/fever rearranged my hormones and it will take awhile for them to settle down. I am 57 and was pretty stable on the bi-est. has this ever happened to anyone else?? Thx!
Avatar f tn Hi, everybody. I've been experiencing hot flashes, hair loss, irregular periods, and dry eyes for several months. I had my hormone and thyroid levels tested twice, and, while everything technically came back normal, my estradiol (52 pg/ml) level concerns me. I've read that anything below the 50 pg/ml mark is not a good sign. Is this true? Does this number suggest that I'm in the early stages of premature ovarian failure, or are there other causes of low estradiol?
709441 tn?1233340088 hummm i had total on monday the 26th and they started me on hormone replacement that day..I am 36 but I wake up sweating every night......so not sure that the cream is working....lol...hope all is ok with you...
Avatar f tn Before Premarin I was having hot flashes, anxiety, and terrible insomnia. After the first few days of taking Premarin, I began to notice great improvement. My hot flashes went away and insomnia disappeared. I had a few bumps along the way but then everything balanced out. Now, the old symptoms have returned with a vengeance. My doctor increased it to the next higher dosage of 0.
577395 tn?1277401364 I think that your daughter should see a doctor preferrably a gynecologist or Reproductive Endocrinologist. They can do some blood test like FSH, LH, Estradiol, Prolactin and TSH, free T4 and initially and then other possible hormone tests depending on the history to find out why she is having irregular period and hot flashes. These tests can find out if she has premature ovarian failture, hypothalamic hypogonadism, a thyroid disorder, a pituitary tumor.
Avatar f tn does hashimotos also cause early menopause or is there a connection between the two? Over the last 2 years, i have been having worse and worse hot flashes, night sweats, and insomnia along with the fact that my periods have pretty much become nonexistant (1-2 days light instead of 7-8 days HEAVY). I'm starting to get concerned and the hot flashes/insomnia are starting to affect me....
Avatar n tn My periods were always regular like clockwork, then I had a couple of hot flashes and around the same time noticed lump on my neck. Thyroid ultrasound showed multinodular goiter (4 to be exact), was put on Armour thyroid, and hot flashes did not come back, but then my period also became irregular would miss 2 months here and there. My thyroid levels all came back normal and I was taken off the thyroid med--my period came back a week later and lasted for 2 months.
20803321 tn?1513921914 I also had a hysterectomy at that time. Estradiol and Gabapentin at the dose I am taking for hot flashes doesnt help this pain. What could be wrong? Thank you.

Avatar f tn In the last year, I would say that the symptoms including hot flashes, have been unbearable at times and have been more frequently and more severly. He has increased the dosage since and where the hot flashes are subsiding, the mood swings are now way out of control. Watching a commercial can literally send me into a complete crying tail spin.
Avatar n tn They sometimes last throughout my cycle-about 5-6 days. This has been going on for about three months. I also get hot flashes-not many, maybe one or two from the chest on up late in the evening. Is this normal or should I be worried? Thanks!!!!!
Avatar f tn I have been on estrogen replacement since my surgery in 1998. I still have moderate-severe hot flashes and they seem to be getting more intense with age. I switched from oral Premarin which covered me pretty well but I didn't want to be taking pills the rest of my life. Since then I have tried a variety of patches that are really not very effective on a regular basis and very expensive. At my age, what do you recommend. Is Premarin dangerous (risk of DVT).
589713 tn?1255699571 After many years of severe bleeding issues, at 47, I was thrilled to have a total hysterectomy. (I have had night sweats and hot flashes since I was 40) The hysterectomy was two years ago. I have not been the same since and what I thought would lead to a wonderful sex life again with my husband, has left me wishing I did not have the surgery. My doctor left my ovaries as he said that they still looked good. I had no problems during intercouse with my husband prior to my hysterectomy.
Avatar n tn For you, things will be probably different a bit. I never got over the hot flashes, but most woman swear they eventually do....I just musta owed the fates some pay back or something because mine never went away.....(puts new meaning into "you're a hottie"!!!! Good luck, Hottie!!!
Avatar n tn patch (Estradiol) works great for hot flashes and mood. I was on .o5 and it was not enough.. my legs where killing me! but i am now on two patches of .o5 and things are some better but not great yet. I tai chi'ed this morning which energized me.
Avatar n tn I also read another article that said that the only symptoms that are proven to be linked to menopause are hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Some real natural remedies for these are mint (in a tea, bath, or body lotion) and some people have said that eating soy products, leafy greens, and and whole grains while cutting back on red meat and simple carbs (white bread and pasta, white rice) has worked well. And it can't hurt to eat better anyway....
