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.
On another note, think blood tests are to be done day 18-21 for best snapshot of estrogen/progesterone balance. FYI - would also follow a whole food type diet (meats, nuts, fruits, veg) to help maximize your improvement. Eliminating grains, dairy, soy, sugars will do wonders to help minimize some of the symptoms while you're working through the right path for you.
The highest concentrations of Isoflavones are found in soy bean and soy bean products followed by legumes, whereas lignans are the primary source of phytoestrogen found in nuts and oilseeds (e.g. flax) and also found in cereals, legumes, fruits and vegetables.
Phytoestrogen content varies in different foods, and may vary significantly within the same group of foods (e.g. soy beverages, tofu) depending on processing mechanisms and type of soy bean used.
Hi,
My friend, who is a woman of 45 years, has been receiving a prescription diet from many years ago that excludes nuts (almonds, tree nuts, etc), peanuts, strawberries, chocolate, coffee, saussages, among other things.
This diet is to prevent formation of cysts, which she is prone to produce under the right circumstances.
Since I usually do the cooking for both, my question is about what compounds these foods share that could be acting as a cyst trigger.
Hello, I'm 41 and underwent a total hysterectomy 1 month ago. The Dr. started me on the patches right away. I just can't sleep! This is driving me nuts since I'm a teacher and need my rest. I look horrible and feel exhausted. Is that a side effect of the patches? Yesterday I was desperate and removed it to see what happens for a week or so. What can I do? I am desperate and of course do not want to age early nor break a leg if tripping on the street. Help!
Has she has her thyroid checked? That's a common cause of the weight gain and possibly, hot flushes returning or getting worse after 10 years.
Also to mention that a weight gain of so much weight also can be a cause of a heightening of the hot flushes. Fat stores estrogen and it's believed that estrogen is partially to blame for the hot flushes.
It drives me nuts when doctors give these reports and don't explain it. I'm hoping your doctor has a meeting set with you to go over it all. Disordered proliferative endometrium means you had an anovulatory cycle (no ovulation). High estrogen, low progesterone levels. stromal refers to cells of the organ such as uturus, ovarynot sure what break down means though. Tubal metaplasia I have read is common and not a concern. Now, I'm not a doctor!
I do remember reading somewhere that eating alot of nuts in your pregnancy can cause nut allergies but i dont know if this is true... it was on the internet.. I was never advised by my doctor to avoid them..
If its true though, my poor baby is screwed becasue I had peanut butter and almonds all through my pregnancy... it was difficult to eat meat at times so having nuts helped me stick to a more holistic diet.

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.
Did you eat a lot of leafy green vegetables before testing? Also found in some seeds and nuts, etc. It can also mask B12 deficiency in testing. I think I would look more into that with further testing of B12 testing. It consists of more than a B12 test...there are others to be run to check enzymes, etc.
There are more than 1 type of estrogen to be tested in bloodwork too. If all aren't done you cannot get a complete profile. Also have to be done according to cycle. Are you on any hormones?
Breast soreness comes from an increase in the level of estrogen. Causes of estrogen dominance include birth control pills, estrogen replacement therapy, stress, poor diet, obesity, xenoestrogens (excess estrogens found in anything from pesticides to plastics).
Estrogen dominance can affect conversion of T4 to T3 as well as increase thyroxine binding globulin (if there is too much thyroid binding globulin, thyroid hormone is bound and unable to get into the cells).
Elevated levels of estrogen in men cause them to take on more feminine characteristics. In fact, when estrogen levels in men are higher than they should be, it can bring about a whole slew of unwanted and potentially dangerous side effects. Enlarged breasts are one of the first and most noticeable side effects to appear in men when estrogen levels are elevated. This is known as gynecomastia and a few other names in the gym too.
Interesting the spotting has the odor of human menstrual blood. She is as healthy as can be. Everyone, the breeder, vet, etc., thinks I am nuts, say they never heard of such a thing. I feel like cutting the fresh stains out of my sheets and taking the fabric to the vet;except I don't want to cut up my sheets. Since she has been so healthy for so many years with this ongoing spotting; I can only assume it is benign. What do you think?
I've suffered with PVC's for a couple of years and have been to the cardiologist once. I'm actually going again in a couple of months because they seem to be quite a bit more frequent and different patterns.
Anyhow, I've been trying to pay attention to possible triggers. I've noticed the past two months that around my period is when they are soooo awful. I've see on this forum that other women have experienced this as well.
