Common Questions and Answers about Premarin estrogen cream

premarin

I was told not to take any herbal agents, soy etc. The physician did say that premarin vaginal cream 3 x per week would be okay. I am concerned. I have been told allot of different things. Do I risk taking the cream? Is it absorbed just locally? What is your suggestion.

Do I need to continue taking Premarin .0625 or can I discontinue since I am past meopause age.

Has anyone used premarin cream. I am just starting menopause with the hot flashes, weight gain, anxiety, etc, My GYN prescribed Avista-an estroten/progesterin pill. I took it for about 7 days and then decided the risk of heart disease and breast cancer wasn't worth it. Someone told me to try a prescription for premarin cream. I don't know if there are any side effects to it and if it is worth taking. Just wondering if anyone can give me some feedback on it.

I have een prescribe Premarin vaginal Cream for estrogen. So mujch has been written about Premarin that I am hesitant to use it. I have been told that Evening Prinrose Oil is a natural way to replace estrogen in women.

I wouldn't hesitate to use the cream as directed. This will be for a short time too so it should pose no increased risk for you. It's best at times to limit your research ... you can always find an article somewhere that will indicate that whatever you have been prescribed will harm you in some way. Most Dr.s are very aware of the risk and act accordingly. Regards ....

can you buy an over the counter drug like premarin? i know that premarin is estrogen, so what med would i look for/ i thought maybe they had an otc brand. not the creams but pills. would i look in the vitamin section of my store? im sorry for all the questions.

I have been taking Evista QD for many years and after a repair of vaginal prolapse in February the surgeon Rx'd Premarin vaginal cream 2 x a week. Is it safe to take these 2 Rx's or is it contraindicated? (I also take synthroid.)Thank you!

Sorry to barge in here...but I have been following along with Becky regarding this issue. (difficult surgical menopause, age 49, surgery 6 months ago due to complex cysts, no ovca but very interested in this issue now as a result). I do question the safety of estrogen for us ALL. I noticed you said "...I would consider estrogen, low dose and without the addition of progesterone" and I wondered if you could perhaps expand on why no progesterone? Or are you referring to progestin?

I have always had sensitivity in my vaginal area. I was prescribed PREMARIN Vaginal Cream for low estrogen. I am 27 also. So, after always having burning/iching/redness/swollenness et al a doctor suggested I had a low estrogen problem. I am also prone to yeast infections, so it's hard to differentiate symptoms of these two issues. I still have these symptoms and I am not sure how to get RELIEF. It gets to the point sometimes where I cannot walk.

After 2 days of taking Prempro I decided not for me. I think I need Progesterone and would like to know if others use the cream and what brand. Or any advice appreciated. Thank- you.

I have used Premarin cream intravaginally for 15-20 years-following a hysterectomy and removal of ovaries. I only learned yesterday that there is a danger for men exposed (via trans-dermal) to estrogen. I don't know, or care, why I never saw or was told any information regarding this, my only concern now is my husband's health. As I have a "cuff" rather than anything else, I know there is often enough residue for him to have had quite a lot transferred to his skin.

My situations have revolved around excess or unopposed estrogen. I have tried several types of the progesterone supplementation, including creams, pills, and the capsules. I get the same symptoms from use. It was frustrating. I would leave my doctor's office after an annual exam with a stack of prescriptions so that I could try one after another in an effort to find something that would work.

I was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure in 2011 after not having had a menstrual cycle for three years. In June, my doctor put me on a twice-weekly dose of Premarin cream to treat vaginal dryness and atrophy. In August, I had premenstrual symptoms, followed by a surprise bright red period that lasted 4 days.

the answer seems to be that there are not increased blood levels of estrogen if vaginal cream is used alone. I have pasted an abstract below. vaginal estrogen is used routinely in women who have experienced breast cancer and who have severe vaginal thinning.

sss I know that there are other ways to take estrogen such as cream and patches... but its not available here. I tried to order it online, but they need prescription from verified dr in the usa. My doc in the usa said he cant give me one now because he have not seen me for while.

that got some bad press lately,(ortho/evra)google that. I use bio-identical estrogen (cream)that you get from a compounding pharmacy, supposed to be the least toxic of estrogens. (need prescription.) Also, there is a book out that shows you how to use estrogens,(Uzzi Reiss, author)to read your symptoms, so as not to use it everyday.(less harmful.) I see a difference in my hep flareups so I'm a believer. Hep docs don't know squat a/this, usually(because it's latest research??). Go to obgyn.

Ask if it is possible to use Premarin. Doctors won't give you a systemic estrogen for a reason, but maybe Premarin (a cream you use in the vagina) would not be seen as so dangerous. Why do you want the hormone, anyway? Are you having bad symptoms?

put me on Premarin which is an estrogen cream. My question is if there are any natural or nutritional ways to up my estrogen levels so I don't have to stay on this cream the rest of my life. I googled "foods for low estrogen" and it came up with a long list. But I eat a lot of these already, so I'm not sure how much more I can get into my diet. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Even just the estrogens have this listed on the insert, even Premarin Vaginal Cream. I have had to stop all these things because they all cause my hair to fall out. Been off all for at least 3 months, waiting for hair to grow back. Going crazy.

What will it do for me? Conjugated estrogens belong to the class of medications known as estrogen replacement therapy. Estrogen is a female hormone that is produced by the ovaries. Once menopause is reached, the ovaries produce less estrogen and symptoms of menopause can occur. Conjugated estrogen is an estrogen replacement hormone used for the management of menopausal symptoms such as abnormal uterine bleeding (spotting), hot flashes, sweating, and chills.

The next misconception is that progesterone-containing skin creams protect the endometrium. This is false; these creams are not strong enough. In addition, some creams contain an inactive progesterone precursor that the human body can't metabolize. Many topical forms of progesterone -- gels, lotions, creams -- are made at compounding pharmacies. Some can be purchased over the counter at health food stores.

Medication Type Brand name(s) Ultrapotent corticosteroids Clobetasol propionate Temovate (US), Dermovate (UK) Betamethasone dipropionate Diprolene Halobetasol propionate Ultravate Estrogens Estriol Estradiol, Conjugated estrogens Premarin Estrace Testosterone Estradiol, estriol, and conjugated estrogens (in cream form, not orally) are the estrogens most commonly prescribed to treat the effects

Also, it's looking like she's getting peach fuzz on her vaginal area - is this because of the estrogen cream, even though we're putting it on the inside?? Not sure if I should wait it out or take her back to the surgeon and have it taken care of since she doesn't complain of pain.

dang On wait lets back up.. second round of flagyl,, they also gave me Premarin vaginal cream, said it might all be from lack of estrogens, we thought it caused more burning, so I stopped using it now for 3 weeks.. but things are not better. So because I am PM they said the skin in my vagina is thinner and infection is easier to get.. I have no idea. I am 49,, I just want to have a normal sex life,, the doctor acts like he doesn't have time to mess with me..

Some herbal products (like soy isoflavones, red clover and some Chinese herbs) can act like estrogen in our bodies, and may not be safe for women who need to avoid estrogen. Also, there are some antidepressants that are supposed to be helpful for those of us who can't take the hormones, so that might be another option you could ask your doctor about. Take care!

Many women do not need testosterone and are fine on estrogen alone. Premarin is a very good estrogen, but any will do if the dose is high enough for the person's symptoms.

I think that you should remind your doctor about your anti-estrogen treatment as I believe that the topical estrogen cream for your vagina can have some form of systemic absorption which is really in conflict with your anti-estrogen treatment. For your menopausal symptoms, you can ask your doctor about the drug Effexor (Venlafaxine) which is indicated to control these symptoms.

I see tiny hairs in the bright light, but wondering if that is a good sign or not. Has anyone else had this happen with HRT. It was Femhrt, which is estrogen and progestin. However, I read that just the Estrogens also list this side effect, so I am afraid to take anything at all.
