hormone replacement young women

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?

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.

Do you need hormone replacement after ovary removal in a 63 y.o. post-menopausal women?

I think pretty much every woman will get to a place at some point where they wonder if they should try hormone replacement therapy. Mixed information about it. Do you use it and what for? Worries about using it? Let's tlk about it.

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?

thank you so much for your comment.

On September 29, 2009 I had a complete hystorectomy with a 10lb adnexal mass removed at MD Anderson. An intestinal type cancer of low malignant potential was found. I am waiting to be sceduled for an MRI & Colonoscopy. After my surgery I was prescribed Effexor for my mood swings and hot flashes. The doctor has continued to increase the dosage up to the highest = 150 mg per day. All it has done for me is turn me into a zombie.

Well I havent gone through menopause yet, but I did see a womens health doctor and she tested all my hormone levels and said I was in pre menopause, I was only 31 at the time, she wanted to start me on hormone replacement therapy, she said it would help with my anxiety so much, I didnt want to start HRT at such a young age, and you always hear about women that get cancer with hormone Replacement so I was scared as well. So here I am still dealing with anxiety.

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.

Lack of the hormone vasopressin is more common in men than in women. Typically, those that do not produce enough will "correct" by the end of puberty (19-25 years old for men). Check with your urologist about the possibility of this treatment. Best of luck.

I believe the surgeon should tell his patient about that possibility prior to doing a hysterectomy.

I'm not sure what they mean by "old" vs "young" ovaries either. Perhaps ovaries in young women are a certain size and smooth in appearance. We "mature" women may have irregular ovaries that have atrophied a bit so they're smaller over all.

If these are low then your child will need to begin thyroid hormone supplimentation/replacement medication ASAP. Brain and bodies of babies are growing VERY quickly and this can be slowed due to low thyroid hormone. Brain and body growth/development are dependant on thyroid hormone being kept at a high enough level.

I am a 49 yof two years post menopause. I was on hormone replacement patches for about a year and was taking another type of hormone for two weeks q three months. That made my cycles start back so I d/c the hormone replacement completely around 5 months ago. I just went and had a pelvic ultrasound and the results state The endometrail stripe is prominent, measuring 1.2 cm. This is nonspecific and could represent endometrail hypertrophy. Clinical correlation is recommended.

s plenty of confusion about hormone replacement therapy, which is now commonly called hormone therapy. The truth is that hormone therapy is not a magical cure , but it's still the most effective treatment for unpleasant menopausal symptoms for most women. Estrogen remains the most effective treatment for relief of troublesome menopausal hot flashes and night sweats. It can also ease vaginal symptoms of menopause, such as dryness, itching, burning and discomfort with intercourse.

I am 40 and had a total abdominal hysterectomy 8 months ago due to an ectopic pregnancy, endometriosis and a benign tumor. I have been taking hormone replacement since then and would like to know if its REALLY something that I HAVE to do for the next 20 as the doctor said... Ive heard alot about side effects and dont want to put anything into my body that isnt truly necessary. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

Are you on hormone replacement therapy?? If not, I would suggest you look into it. Since you no longer have your female reproductive organs due to having a hysterectomy, you are not getting the normal amount of hormones you used to get. Make an appointment with your doctor to talk about it and see what options you have. Almost all of your symptoms sound hormone related.

I too am on the vivelle dot patch, I change mine every 2 days and also take estradiol one tab at bedtime. I am like a new person. I think they have finally gotten my hormone replacement right. I must say that premarin is one of the older, not so good hormone replacement products available. There are so many new and safer bioidentical hormones on the market like the vivelle. I would go back to my doc, get your hormone levels checked and demand to be put on one of the safer replacements.

hi... i am a young women early 20 and in 2010 i was told i had thyroid disorders and i had radiation done and now i have graves disease and it has got me question is there a chance i can someday haves kids? i do want kids down the road but my body system has not been good and it has got my worried that i won't be able to have kids. some doctors says i can still but there still a good chance i won't be able to. and it makes sad but i know its life.

You are likely more hormone deficient than women who have not had any parts removed. At least that is what the studies show. This not only makes for worse symptoms but also increases risk for a number of health problems. Hormone replacement can be a big help for symptoms and also mitigates some of the health risks.

The good news is he/she will be able to measure your female hormones by a simple blood test....if your in need of hormone replacement therapy,,,it involves taking or using a variety of possibile hormone treatments these can bring back the sex drive,,increase the odds of not having bone density issues. I would recommend you ask your doctor about bio-identical hormones.
