Should a woman who has had her uterus and cervix removed (ovaries are left) take any HRT for hot flashes? It has been 10 years since my hysterectomy and the hot flashes have just begun.

The thing is, these studies are on post menopausal women. I can see where taking a replacement hormone when your body should naturally not be making this hormone anymore could be bad and I wouldn't do it. But what about the people who were thrown into surgical menopause at a time their body would still be producing it?
I would make sure that there isn't something going on at school that she fears so much, it makes her sick just to think about going. Then I would get her checked thoroughly as there is obviously something wrong.

Are these studies only on women who have gone through natural menopause or do they also include women who were put into surgical menopause at a young age?
I am currently on the patch and me and my husband want to have a baby but when I try to take the patch off, I bleed for weeks and weeks. I am not sure if this is normal.

I started having headaches, pains under my arms, and my feet started swelling more than usual. The doctor asked me to cut the patch in half, still changing it twice a week. I used the 1/2 patch for over a month, and I still had the same symptoms, so the doctor told me to cut out all caffiene. It's been three weeks since I stopped caffiene.
ve had my female organs removed one at a time with a LSH in 2006, left oopheractomy in 2007 and right oopheractomy just two months ago in 2014.

I use to get hormonal headaches every other month or so and was able to successfully treat them with one or two prescription pain pills for headaches.
I got a rash in that spot so I moved my patch and that week with the patch on I started my period as I would when not wearing it.

Is this normal when moving the patch to a different part of the body?
Hi guys. I started taking Lexapro for my depression/generalized anxiety disorder about two years ago. For the first year, I took the drug every day as prescribed by the doctor. I didn't get any side effects which I thought was great. The drug wasn't of much help, though. A year ago, I decided to stop taking Lexapro on my own. I tried quitting it cold turkey but I wasn't able to follow through with it because of the withdrawal effects.
