3 Macrophages are present in tissue and derived from precursor monocyte white cells in blood. Macrophages accumulate in fat deposits, particularly intra-abdominal fat, and other sites of inflammation. Known as the conductors of the immune response, macrophages produce and secrete an array of pro-inflammatory hormones and cytokines, which may contribute to the metabolic syndrome.
It works by blocking the enzyme aromatase (found in the body’s muscle, skin, breast and fat) which is used to convert androgens (hormones produced by the adrenal glands) into estrogen. By eliminating estrogen, cancer cells that have positive estrogen receptors cannot grow.
Side effects are certainly not pleasant to anyone,but it has been proven that Arimidex can lower considerably a cancer recurrence.
Best wishes to both you and your mom.
I assume you had blood work done to determine your estrogen level? What is it? Do you possibly have endometriosis (endo)? Endo implants produce estrogen. Fat cells produce estrogen too so if you're overweight that could explain it.
It does vary from person to person. I was one of the lucky ones. I had my lap in 2001 for endo and haven't had any problems since. I had a second lap in 2006, but all that was found was adhesions from 2 C-Sections. Have you tried any type of BC or Lupron shots. After surgery you need to stop your cycle for a few months. Endo feeds on estrogen. Try to lower your estrogen. Its in alot of foods, and alot of shampoos even. It's also stored in fat cells.
Also, any large weight adjustment causes a shift in hormones, because estrogen release is partially based on your fat cells. When you lose a large amount of weight, estrogen automatically declines. If you stop losing this weight at a healthy weight, once your body adjusts to the new amount of hormones, you should return to normal. Another reason for lack of menstruation after weight loss is poor nutrition, related to a lack of iron, zinc and lack of healthy dietary fats.

A product like Estroven will in theory give your body a little more plant based estrogen but it is hard to say if it will have a significant affect on cancer risk. I personally don't think it does pose the same risk. However, the product is weaker than RX remedies and often doesn't provide relief over the long term. And...I can say from 1st hand experience with surgical menopause, that there are more symptoms than dryness and flashes that are caused by menopause.
It sounds like an allergic reaction, and it might not be to the estrogen in the yams but to the junk in the cream. I'd just try a lot of baths, and toss the darn cream in the trash.
Hyperplasia is an overgrowth of new cells on top of what was there. What you've got is swelling of what was there already.
I am a postmenopausal woman (65 y). I stopped estrogen treatment in January 2013 but have sometimes used local estrogen and lactic acid. I have had problems with my urinary opening, vaginal atrium and vagina. My distal urethra has been swollen, sore and smarting. On May 7, 2013, I found a "sand" grain betveen my labia. It vas brownish, with innumeral vacuoles and some regular structures, not exactly like microvilli.
I was trying to learn more about if there was dangerous effects of eating to much dairy. Mainly butter and how much hormones like estrogen were in say a pound of butter. I only ask because I did something stupid last week and I ate a pound of butter in one sitting after seeing others do it on youtube.
I too had a complete hysterectomy 11 years ago and had severe mood swings at about 2 months out from my surgery to the point of being suicidal...as the estrogen that had been in my "fat cells" had been depleted and although they did have me on a patch it was not enough for my needs...so it took a while to sort it out but I am ok now...my symptoms are tolerable most days with just the estrogen patch...
Even though you have had a hysterectomy, one of the three types of estrogen, Estrone, is still produced by body tissues, especially fat and muscle. The tamoxifen also blocks this type of estrogen from fueling the growth of cancer cells.
I think that you should talk with your doctor about your side effects and see what can be done to mitigate them. Evaluate your treatment plan and side effects and whether aromatase inhibitors might be a treatment option.
I had IVF implantation on Sunday the 3rd. Today I had blood work done at the Dr's office and my Estrogen and Progesterone levels dropped "a smidgen" according to the nurse. They are having me increase my Progesterone shots from 1cc to 1.5ccs and get an Estrogen patch. The nurse says that this doesn't mean that the procedure didn't take but I am worried. It sounds like a bad sign. My question is for other people who have had IVF. Has this happened to you?
