Common Questions and Answers about Hormone replacement patch

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?
Hello,
After hysterectomy, hormone replacement therapy would consist of estrogen alone usually given daily by pill or sometimes weekly or biweekly skin patch.However hormonal replacement therapy should be given for a short time only as long term use may be associated with a small increase in breast cancer.
In my opinion you should consult a gynecologist and start with hormone replacemenr therapy.
Im reading a lot of advice against the use of hormone replacement therapy, but the studies I have researched report that its the combination of progesterone and estrogen that is bad for you, and that estrogen alone may actually decrease the risk of breast cancer. My question then is has anybody else read any studies similar?
I had a hysterctomy almost 3 years ago at the age of 35 for a borderline serous tumor. My oncologist put me on an estrogen replacement patch and I have been using them ever since. With all the stuff in the news lately about HRT and their new findings, I would love to know your opinion. 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?
These hormones are very important for normal functioning of our body and if there is a deficiency of these hormones it is important to take hormone replacement therapy to overcome this deficiency.
Please relax HRT will not damage your brain but is essential at the moment for you.
Hormone therapy is really not reccomended after batteling cancer,,,ask your Dr his opinion of a herbal called Black Kosch it is known to be good for hot flashes do NOT take it without his permission, I have no idea if it is safe for you or not.
There is a testosterone patch that can be placed on the male buttock. It is used for hormone replacement in men with low testosterone.
It is a form of HRT....Hormone Replacement Therapy....there are those that believe that bioidentical is better for you then synthenic hormones....personal choice.
How long post op are you? and are your taking hormone replacement? when I know this I can give you a more informed opinion.
also explains why some birth control pills are more helpful than others.. but also suggests using the bioidentical route for hormone replacement (which it sounds like you are doing anyway). I don't know anything about the spray... I do love my patch. Hysterectomy in 2000.
Take care and I hope you start to feel better soon. Try to pick up the book.. ordering may be the only way though since it is an older book..
Hi
It seems that the dark patch has developed due to friction from your foot-wear. You should try applying a moisturizer, Vaseline petroleum jelly and soaking your foot in warm water for a few days which will soften the skin and the discoloration would go away.
If it doesn’t resolve in a few days time, you should consult a doctor.
Family history and the individual’s medical history are to be taken into account while prescribing hormone replacement therapy.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
A couple of members here, including myself, watched Robin McGraw yesterday speak about bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. Did you know that women as young as their teens can have hormonal imbalances ? And that you can show signs of perimenopause in your 20s... feel horrible and be misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia ? And yet the medical field has failed us again on this other issue.
About 13 months ago I had surgery to remove a pituitary tumor and I am now on full hormone replacement. For the most part my recovery has gone great. However, I believe I do have problems with either the dosage (.125mg) of my thyroid hormone or the drug itself (levoxyl).
I have an endocrinologist that has been with me since the surgery and they refuse to change anything because my T4 level is in the "normal" range at 1.5.
