I don`t think it was normal when I grew up but nowadays our environment is bombarded with estrogen in the food chain and estrogen-like chemicals. I do see that adolescents of both sexes look very "feminized" but it usually seems to straighten itself out. If you are worried, I would get his hormonal balance checked.
The whole situation of hormonal disruptions is pretty disturbing but that`s a whole separate debate.
I have been in surgical menopause for six years now. I have been using the estrogen patch (Vivelle dot .1) since my surgery and have had no problems with hot flashes. However, for the past 8 months I having been getting hot flashes every now and then. Is this normal? When I mentioned it to my doctor, he just said I was already taking the highest dose the patch comes in and didn't like the idea of me using the oral kind.
I have a 12 yr old daughter that was diagnosed with a 1cm cold nodule in her right thyroid in November. I have a friend that lives only a few minutes from me and they found a nodule in his right thyroid, he is 10 and it was cancer. We also have found out that 3 women in our church and that live in our area also have thyroid nodules (they are all under 40). None of these people had thyroid problems before and we all moved to this area 5 years ago.
What is the risk of infection following a needlestick in the environment? Last week I was barefoot outside my house taking out the garbage and i accidentally stepped on a needle. Can hiv infect from environmental needlesticks?
I work in an office environment that was created for us in the basement of a lovely hotel. The space is nice and when I started I had a nice office with a window. I often work down here by myself, but by having a window, allowing natural sunlight to come in and fresh air, it helped a lot. I could hear the church bells ring across the streets, the birds, and just the outside world.
I am in no pain but am concerned about the possibility of infection because it is an open lesion in a very moist environment.
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?
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.
I work in a hot humid environment too, staying hydrated is a must, I snuck water bottles in my work station (let them try and tell me I can't have water) I also got one of those special cloths that you can put under water and it stays cold and wet and I wrapped it behind my neck and I was good to go. I worked in the same place when I was preggo with my daughter and she is a perfect one year old now. Just take it easy.
We did our research and tried a supplement called Vitex Fruit which is said to help balance estrogen and progesterone to make a better environment for conception. It has multiple success stories for people with known fertility issues and unexplained infertility. We got pregnant after only 3 weeks of taking Vitex. Since then, I have recommended it to 2 close friends, one with PCOS, both are now pregnant after taking Vitex for only 2-3 months.
Hi, I had itching too, for me it was a sign of low estrogen. You are right about the progesterone and cortisol, however, you may also need to obtain some bioidentical estrogen cream thru your gyn. That is how I finally found relief from the itching myself. I take the estrogen cream, every morning, and I started with a very low dose, and built up with my doctor's supervision.
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.
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.
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?
I have just finished dose dense chemo for 8 rounds, and will be doing radiation in a couple weeks. I feel that my estrogen is already not there, then how can I be sure that taking Aridimex will not hurt me even more and cancer will recur really aggressively. My Medical Onc. wants me to consider Aridimex/Zometa.
There are some hereditary conditions in which males have elevated estradiol levels. Also some endocrine syndromes. MOST of the time, the excess estrogen is produced in excess adipose tissue. Usually estrogen is converted into testosterone, but in some cases, this fails to happen. This is the type of case in which something like Aromasin might help.
I was told yesterday that I have dense breast tissue, and through ultrasound was told that I have a cluster of cysts in this area by an xray technician. I has told to come back in 6 months and they would check if anything had changed. Can you help me understand what these are? Is it normal? Is Fibrocystic the same as what I was told I have?
Your symptoms may be due, at least in part, from not having enough estrogen. Women also lose about 50% of their testosterone when their ovaries are removed. Unfortunately, doctors fail to divulge this important information before surgery!
1mg of estrogen taken orally is a fairly low dose for a woman without ovaries. And some women do not absorb oral estrogen very well. Has your doctor ever checked your blood level of estrogen or estradiol?
i just found out i have endo. my obgyn said i have too much to remove and that we need to go to the fertility clinic. i dont understand why they can't go in and remove what they can so we could try to get pregnant naturally. i do know that if they remove some of it it could cause scarring and it will be harder to get pregnant. any advice. i am going for a second opinion with another dr in the same practice only beacuse i live on kauai and dr's are very limited here.
