Common Questions and Answers about Natural hormone replacement virginia

hormone

Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar m tn After watching this episode, I promptly made an appointment with my family doctor to discuss other HRT options. I stopped taking my Premarin, and upon my request for a safer or natural hormone, she prescribed estradiol .05 once a week patch, just recently (last week) added Prometrium, 200 mg. daily. My health/sanity issues have not changed.
Avatar f tn v recently read some information regarding traditional hypothyroidism which states that meds including synthroid and armour might be cancer-causing if used for life, and bio-identical thyroid hormone replacement is much safer for long-term use free of preservatives and binders and is all natural. It's actually a nutritional supplement not a med. What do you think?
1073454 tn?1317494199 It is almost two years since you posted your question. By now, you probably are doing very well. One thing that too many women have found out after a hysterectomy is the need for a bladder suspension a few years later. That is what happened to me, and others I know. I believe the surgeon should tell his patient about that possibility prior to doing a hysterectomy.
Avatar f tn The doc told me that if at least 1 ovary was left in, there would be no need for hormone replacement therapy. But I had cysts on both and lots of scar tissue. So leaving one in was not a option. The ovaries are where your hormones come from. If you have 1 or even both, and are not comfortable by now, you should probably talk to your doc. This could just be stress from worrying about there being something wrong. You you get to feeling better soon. God Bless!
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn Do you need hormone replacement after ovary removal in a 63 y.o. post-menopausal women?
Avatar f tn Just wondering if anyone has switched from Synthyroid to a natural thyroid replacement, and if so, if you could share your experience if it was positive or negitive?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn If you dont know if you have Hoshimoto, you need to find out. Supplements may support but not cure hoshis, you need thyroid replacement hormone meds for life. Although people on the 'natural herb' bandwagon jump all over natural dessicated thyroid (pig thyroid), in the end its a manufactured medicine. Works great for many (myself included), but its medicine. If you just have hypo symptoms due to a 'slow' thyoid, the causes can be many, and sometimes it does not last forever.
1319991 tn?1274357816 48yr old male on hormone replacement therapy for over 10yrs. Being seen for extreme fatigue, loss of concentration, recent ED issues. Blood test exceptions show higher RBC & higher Fe levels as well as low FreeT levels at end of injection cycle. Dr. is considering shortening time between injections from 10 to 7 days or raising dosage from 0.5cc to 0.7cc but concerned about a possible increase to RBC count.
Avatar f tn Regarding your question about serum levels not rising when starting on thyroid med, when starting on thyroid med, the hypothalamus/pituitary system responds by reducing the output of TSH, and thus the production of natural thyroid hormone. Serum thyroid levels are the sum of both natural thyroid hormone and thyroid med.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn If you are concerned, you should see your doctor for evaluation and he/she can order an ultrasound, if appropriate. Also, just so you are aware, “naturalhormone replacement has the same risks of estrogen exposure as “clinical” HRT. Estrogen is estrogen, whether it is from soy or the lab. This is why we recommend that women with estrogen receptor positive breast cancer avoid HRT as well as soy and other “natural” estrogen products.
Avatar m tn Natural thyroid hormone production can decrease when you start thyroid replacement so you can experience worsening of symptoms to start with while the thyroid medication builds up in the blood. This usually takes between 4 to 6 weeks.
Avatar f tn Especially if you were previously taking HRT. I never got on hormone replacement therapy so have done it all naturally. This article has a bunch of natural ways to combat it. https://www.webmd.com/menopause/guide/menopause-natural-treatments Hot flashes are a mega pain. I plan ahead. I have blankets and a fan both and wear light clothing to bed. It's rough but I have been able to manage. My friend drank soy milk and swears it helped her with hot flashes.
718868 tn?1230730029 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.
