Avatar n tn Diethylstilbestrol is a synthetic (man-made) form of the hormone estrogen. It’s often used in treatments for prostate cancer. Again, there’s a pattern between increased estrogen and melasma. Genetics: About 33% to 50% of people with melasma have reported that someone else in the family has it. The majority of identical twins both have melasma. Hypothyroidism: A condition where your thyroid is underactive.
Avatar f tn At times the sores are not visible and the only thing that remains abnormal is a watery discharge. It can also be atrophic vaginitis which is common in post menopausal women and in younger women heralds a hormonal imbalance. It could also be chlamydial infection or even gonorrhea. Hence it is important to get a complete STD and a complete hormonal panel (estrogen, progesterone, FSH, LH, prolactin, thyroid) done. It could also be due to infection in the uterus, cervivitis, vaginal infection.

Avatar f tn I have suffered with this for many years now, and it is mostly aggrevated when I get hot flashes from menopause or in summer. It is from sweating. It is unbearable, and the only thing that works is something that actually cools the skin, whether it be ice or menthol creams or some cooling sunscreen. If you don't know what the answer is, don't assume it is behavioural related. This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/1160209'>itchy arms</a>.
Avatar n tn I recommend visiting an allergist and having allergy testing done that includes testing for progesterone and, possibly, estrogen allergy (estrogen if you are female). I doubt a dermatologist would be able to help. I have only ever gotten misdiagnosed by dermatologists. They are not so good with allergic reactions. Luckily I have found an excellent allergist myself and I am optimistic about my treatment.
991222 tn?1333990733 but the real stuff with maybe some prego sauce (2 servings of veges ) in sauces like that. and \dont forget your protiens, lean meat is best bc you want to keep in mind, weight gain, doctors dont like when women esp. if someone is overweight gain weight................. if your as thin as a toothpick then yes 30 lbs is recommended, for example when i get prego, i shouldnt gain any more then 10lbs. bc im around 138lb now, i was 113lb b4 my first child.
467579 tn?1289402969 I've just been put on oxygen at night. Was wondering about what cosmetics and creams (that are oil based I shouldn't use as they are flammable. What about hair products? Seems like a real vainity question but this is making me a very unhappy camper and I already was pretty unhappy about this whole thing!
Avatar n tn re -not- pregnant due to mother nature knocking on your door (Though a very small percent of people can be pregnant and still ovulate, have a period ect) I would say try again In a week (Tests) And yes of course someone will answer other than myself with probably more Insightful things. Hope all's well.
429647 tn?1249753429 only to find out that her cancer is estrogen postive and probably caused or in some part aided in the growth of her masses. This is a very touchy subject on this forum, and as much as I love and adore Mary, she and I are on opposite sides on this one. Flashes are horrid, I will agree that I have had a really tough time with them as well as the other symptoms of menopause....but, you know what....I am alive. Gather all the facts you can....best of luck.
Avatar f tn The estrogen is kicking in with a vengeance and my poor husband has to just grin and bare it all. I think after this pregnancy he will think carefully before attempting to make number 2. Are you experiencing the same?
Avatar f tn Then I went to another gyno who said that recent studies have proved that estrogen only with uterus in tact is safer that in fact it's the progesterone that is toxic. Is anyone receiving the same advice?
Avatar f tn Thank you for your last response. I did see a dermatologist and she said the marks on my legs were sun spots. However now I have many other questions. Mt Melanoma was "in situ", which I hear is great. But now I am trying to do all I can to prevent it from coming back. I have recently read that both estrogen and vitamin C have been linked to increasing Melanoma. Is this true?
Avatar m tn Endometriosis feed off estrogen. The estrogen-dependent endo lesions, if left unchecked, will begin to create their own estrogen. I do want to clarify that the pill or any other form of HRT does not prevent the Endometriosis from growing. The reason it is used is to help stop the pain by stopping the periods. I was on a low dose BCP (Marvelon) for 8 yrs continuously and did help with my pain. However it still continued to grow even after deep excision surgery.
587083 tn?1327120262 With menopause your body stops making estrogen. Eating soy products seems to boost the estrogen a bit, but is that good? I was a regular consumer of soy milk, tofu, edamame and flax seed after menopause. After my diagnosis of breast cancer (estrogen positive) my oncologist recommended I avoid soy products because even the weak phytoestrogens may stimulate cancer cells. Research is not conclusive but better to be safe. As the addage goes, 'all things in moderation.
Avatar m tn Look for exposures to BPA(found in plastics and thermal receipt paper) or fire retardants. Some of these chemicals in the construction industry mimic estrogen and can cause sore nipples and mood changes... Among other things. Use PPE if you are exposed to these chemicals. Also, cut back on empty carbohydrates in your diet, caffeine and alcohol until you have time for your body to full return to normal. Make sure you dedicate a full 8 hours to sleep every night.
Avatar m tn I am having this lump in my armpit which was painful at first and then after few days there was secretions from it ... yellowish smelly fluid.... i started taking antibiotics .... the smell went away though the discharge is still there but its colorless..... the lump is near the junction ... and there are two open holes one on the upper side and one on the lower side through which secretion comes out .... and the adjoining area is red and hard to touch ....
Avatar m tn All I know is that after you get pregnant you can use an ovulation monitor as a pregnancy test since it can tell an increase just like when you ovulate. I'm not sure how soon after ovulation it works though.
Avatar n tn Does anyone happen to know if there has been a connection with too much estrogen causing more neuropathy pain?? Anyone experience the onset of neuropathy after a hysterectomy? I would appreciate any info.
Avatar f tn I had IVF implantation on Sunday the 3rd. Today I had blood work done at the Dr's office and my Estrogen and Progesterone levels dropped "a smidgen" according to the nurse. They are having me increase my Progesterone shots from 1cc to 1.5ccs and get an Estrogen patch. The nurse says that this doesn't mean that the procedure didn't take but I am worried. It sounds like a bad sign. My question is for other people who have had IVF. Has this happened to you?
Avatar m tn Also retract the foreskin daily and soak in warm water to clean penis and foreskin. In case the symptoms persist then consult a urologist/dermatologist for evaluation and antimicrobials and steroids prescription. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar n tn On occasion, I will get a really hard bump in the cartilage on my nose. I have tried to not touch it this time, and it has continually gotten larger and more pus-filled. Today, after seeing the giant scab with pus behind it, and with a really sore nose, I decided to push on it. After the first squeeze, this really nasty white gunky stuff shot out. After a few pushes, it was just blood.
Avatar f tn You may also have estrogen dominance ( causing an imbalance in the estrogen/progesterone ratio and leading to fibrocystic breasts, polycystic ovaries and more). You may need to modify your diet and avoid xeno-estrogens and boost your progesterone levels by taking bio-identical progesterone cream. *Most Hypothyroid & Hashimoto's sufferers have gluten intolerance or Celiac's and may not even know it!
