Avatar m tn Or do I just go on estriol cream/patch or estrogel cream....and then figure out if I need t add more, and how do I figure that out - how does one know if she needs progesterin/progestin or testosterone added (either the medical kind or the bio identical kind).
Avatar m tn Hi sorry hormone therapy will not help at all , there are no pills or cream to make your penis any bigger , take care ,
3073221 tn?1340774051 Very painful as well. She placed me on a low dose of hormone cream based on some kind of mathematical formula based on the results of my hormone blood work, hoping that it would thicken the skin that was tearing. I'm not crazy about taking hormones due to the cancer risks. I don't smoke but I am overweight. I took the hormone cream for 1 month and there was absolutely no changes in pain or the tearing or bleeding. The area continues to tear, bleed and cause severe pain with intercourse.
Avatar n tn Ask your Dr. I'm pretty sure that it would depend on the cream. I was using a prescription NSAID cream before I got pregnant and had to stop once we found out because they don't know the risks and how much might actually get into your bloodstream. I know that most Dr.'s recommend tylenol as a safe pain killer during pregnancy. Good Luck!

Avatar f tn I am 74 years old and have been on Hormone Therapy for 24 years. My new doctor had advised me that she will not continue my prescription because she in uncomfortable to prescribe to a woman over 65 years of age. I think that is my decision to make.
Avatar f tn Lil Lady is correct. Progesterone is a hormone supplement, so you have to have a dr's prescription to get it. Why were you thinking about starting it? Did a doctor recommend it?
200220 tn?1361951554 Dr. Lupus: My holistic doctor gave me natural progesterone cream to use to help me stabilize my moods and pick up the free estrogen that is floating in my body. My question to you is it dangerous to use with taking levothyroxine 37.5 with having hashimotor disease. My doctor is an MD also and seem to be very knowledgeable about the thyroid along with helping me with celiac disease. What is your experience with this natural product.
Avatar f tn The Women's Health Initiative showed that combined HRT as Prempro (conjugated estrogen plus progestin formulation medroxyprogesterone acetate) increased the risk of breast cancer. Estrogen taken without a progestin (Premarin) did not increase risk of breast cancer. But you are correct that a progestin or progesterone needs to be taken with estrogen to protect the uterine lining from proliferation and risk of hyperplasia or cancer.
Avatar f tn Took new saliva test and went to new hormone specialist. She changed me to cream (bio-identical also) plus added 4 adrenal food supplements. I have taken the same blood pressure med for 17 years and kept my levels normal. After using the hormone cream and adrenal supplements for three weeks, my blood pressure soared. My doctor took me off the supplements, but my blood pressure was still dangerously high. She doubled my present BP med plus added another med before it would come back down.
Avatar f tn Did any of u ladies ever use ketokonazole 2% cream during pregnancy? I have seborrheic dermatitis and I'm afraid to use the cream, which I really need!! Was anyone else in a similar situation? What did u do?
Avatar n tn Since my only symptom was an irritation and I was looked at by a generalist who ran a urine test for UTI which was negative and gave me the disinfectant cream for the irritation. Now that I have use the cream I have more of a mild burning feeling and am guessing the cream is the cause of this feeling. I was trying to find a clinic just to have a close look from a pro but I can't seem to find one where I am.
Avatar f tn Flagyl is a category B so its relatively safe to use during pregnancy, there have been no proven risks
Avatar f tn When I mentioned this to him at my last exam he basically told me unfortunately I am on the highest patch dose and he does not want me to take oral estrogen since there are higher risks so nothing he could do. I feel like I should get a second opinion because I feel like there may be other options for me. At the age of 41, I can't stand these hot flashes not to mention the depression and anxiety I am now experiencing. Can you tell me what kind of doctor would be best for me to see?

1031264 tn?1318524241 t want it clouding my CD21 progesterone test to check if I ovulated - turned out I got pregnant but lost it very early. My hormone doc suggested I take this cycle off TTC and start the cream early from CD6 to build up my progesterone for a month which is what I'm doing. Next month when I go back to TTC I will use it a day or so after I have ovulated and continue that for a few months.
Avatar n tn If you have ASC-US and are near or past menopause, your health care provider may prescribe estrogen cream. If the cell changes are caused by low hormone levels, applying estrogen cream will make them go away." There is some good info on some .gov sites about pap smears, HPV, and cervical cancer. Did the colposcopy done before the LEEP show a worse case of dysplasia since a LEEP is not typically done for mild dysplasia?
Avatar n tn im 22 year old girl. can u please suggest some cream names and also some herbs to increase my breast size....................?
Avatar f tn penis and scroutum seem slightly swollen and wrinkled but no pain during g urination no discharge and no bumps as of yet. When I use anti fungal cream symptoms seem to scale back including swelling. My question is what could I have contracted and could the encounter just have triggered my HPV. The symptoms feel slightly the same.
Avatar m tn I know from personal experience. Natural testosterone cream reduced my blood sugar, triglyceride and cholesterol levels to a normal range. My depression lifted and my enegry levels increased. When testosterone is converted to DHT and estrogen it can be problematic. But there are safe and effective way to prevent that from happening. I'm not considering testosterone treatment for my baby but I know that an imbalance of hormones can effect the body in many ways, not just sexuality.
973741 tn?1342342773 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.

Avatar f tn I have been on bioidentical hormone therapy for several years: estrogel 0.06% 2 pumps once daily and prometrium 200 mg. daily. My main symptoms for seeking treatment were severe hot flashes, night sweats and insomnia. These symptoms have subsided since being on hormone replacement therapy. I do not have access to individual dosage evaluation and preparation of these hormones. I know that it is best to take the lowest dosage that gives me relief of my symptoms to decrease my risks of cancer.
Avatar n tn Recently had a try of a friends ice cream, is it possible to get oral (herpes type 2) this route? A bit paranoid, any insight would be greatly appreciated. To my knowledge type two orally is quite rare, what are the risks of sharing food and drinks generally?, colds, hsv 1...
Avatar f tn I was placed on HRT - estrogen and estrogen vagina cream. I was 23 and had a 14 month old baby girl at home and needless to say it was a very difficult time. Reach out to family and friends for support. Baby yourself, rest and try to relax. Look into alternatives to estrogen and dont stop until you find something that works for you. You are still young and have many more years ahead. I'd suggest looking into naturopathy for alternatives.
