hormone estrogen menopause

So if I was still getting my period, I could take birth control pills (which have a lot more estrogen in them than the estrogen replacement) in addition to what my body would be making and this is safe?!?! Has anyone asked their doctor about this or has anyone heard of any studies being done on young surgical menopause people? This is so confusing and scares me. When I wasn't on enough estrogen, life was miserable. I was 35 and yet I felt like I was 86!!

You have just had the major producer of estrogen in your body removed. You ARE going through menopause. If you are not taking hormones, you will feel all the manifestations of that condition come on like a freight train. Hot flashes, and Night sweats will be your life. The question is, do you have a fever, that you measured with a thermometer, or are you mistaking hot flashes, for a fever. If your doc thinks you are confusing the hotflashes for fever symtoms, he may discount your complaints.

My organs were removed and it put my life into a tailspin. A prescription for estrogen would likely help quite a bit. It has for me. Unfortunately, doctors may say you don't need estrogen but any time part of the reproductive system (uterus, ovary) is removed, it can cause a loss if hormones. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

How are you? Until menopause, the ovaries make most of your body's estrogen. When the ovaries are removed, estrogen levels suddenly drop. This change causes early menopause and increased osteoporosis risk When taking hormone therapy after an oophorectomy it is important to take estrogen plus progestin (hormone replacement therapy). The progestin protects the uterus from the increased risk of estrogen-related endometrial cancer. You can read more about this through this link: http://www.

Dear Amy good question personally I am in favor of estrogen replacement , especially at your age.

I went to gyno and this is how I found out I was in menopause. He suggested hormone replacement but so many people get aner from this. I would also have to pay $500 for first visit and $2500 for any visit after that. I am not made of money. This is what the hormone centers charge here in my area. owever I am gonna ask for some estrogen pills.I have cried all day and if I go outside the heat makes me feel like I am gonna pass out.

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.

Soy has plant estrogens. If your cancer is estrogen sensitive I would be very careful about using any product with "isolated soy protein.

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.

You can also use a good, over the counter cream, I am talking about Progesterone by the way, it will help to alleviate the estrogen dominance and get those hormones back in balance. Hardly anyone needs extra estrogen, our bodies still make it even after menopause, just not as much, the progesterone will use what your body makes and help balance it out, there is no cancer risk with natural hormones either, with synthetic, that is a different story.

Once they got my dose right, the gyn/onc sent me to a hormone/menopause specialist. Since I had/have endo, she cut my dose of estrogen way way back. Ugh, I felt like **** again. She said I had tumors again as the endo had returned. Yes it certainly can return with the addition of estrogen. (Don't stress) She started me on estrogen/progesterone/testosterone cream that I get from a compounding pharmacy. It is all bioidentical which I think is the only way to go.

I believe that my wife, who had suffered from postpartum psychosis after the birth of our last child, had an increased genetic susceptibility to affective illness as a result of hormone changes at menopause, especially with abrupt hormone changes that appear to have occurred because of her UAE and hysterectomy (induced menopause). COULD THIS BE TRUE?

I almost died, but I am lucky and I feel not too bad for the most part, but I am now having problems with my estrogen. It is very very low which I expected after having my 1st operation. I have a lot of hot flashes and nausea. I also have anxiety and feel depressed at times. I am looking for any one who can give me any advice on my situation. I am 51 years old and in decent shape for my age. (5'7, 145 lbs.). Non smoker and exercise some.

ve been feeling the symptoms of menopause so had my levels checked. Total estrogen came back as 892 pg/ml. The doctor is telling me this is within normal limits of the lab that tested my blood. It sounds high to me and I cannot find any definite answers online. Any information is greatly appreciated as this has me worried. Thank you.

The ovaries of women who are in natural menopause produce hormones up to at least age 80. Hysterectomy can cause an earlier menopause or complete ovarian failure. Having your hormone levels checked may be helpful (estradiol and FSH). Estrogen deficiency is associated with a number of increased health risks along with some debilitating symptoms. So do your research about the risks and benefits of estrogen to decide if it is right for you.

i had a partial hysterectmy in 1992 i still have both my ovaries i have been to the dr and had a hormone test done and it was normal but i have all the symptoms of menopause except for the exctreme hotflases i have them but they are very very mild and not often, could i be going thru menopause?

Is estrogen the only hormone they put you on? usually they do the estrogen, DHEA, progesterone, and testosterone. And usually it takes quite some time, and tweaking to get the formula right. It also takes time to "refill the tank" so to speak to get you back to "normal" levels. Since you asked for suggestions, I would also like to add that you might want to check out St Johns wort ,along with GABA, Valerian Root, Hops.

Previous to that my OB/GYN diagnosed me with low estrogen. My estradiol level was 42. When my endo doc ran the TPO antibody test he also checked my testosterone levels and they have come back high. Does the thyroid cause all these other imbalances as well? My endo suggested peri menopause because of the Hashimoto's and I have all the symptoms but afraid that it is just the thyroid messing everything up.

My new doctor recommended me to have a salivary test to test hormone levels/cortisol/dhea. The results show what she called estrogen deficiency and high cortisol levels. progestrone level is okay. She said that I could try "natural" estrogen cream but I have tried bioidentical progestrone cream before and this brought on bleeding again just after 3 days of use. I also experienced giddiness with it use.

Estrogen typically alleviates the symptoms you are experiencing. I am in surgical menopause and depend on estrogen to keep me emotionally stable as well as help with a number of other symptoms such as insomnia, memory, focus, temperature regulation, etc.

Your Dr can and should do blood work, because even though it may seem not your ovaries are still trickling just a bit of estrogen so you need to know your hormone levels ( Dr does) to prescribe correct combination or single hormone, what ever you may need.

Menopause is often thought of as a time of declining estrogen, but it is actually common for women to experience surges of abnormally high estrogen levels in the menopausal years, as well as earlier in life. This misconception has led many millions of women to engage in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to restore lost” estrogen, hoping to address the above list of conditions. This additional estrogen may only worsen the problem and even set the stage for the development of deadly disease.

Hi there! Not sure I'll be of any help, but when I was going through menopause 2 years ago (I'm 53 now), I definitely had dizzy spells and some light-headedness, which I was told can happen during menopause due to the lack of estrogen being produced. I would think that having one less ovary would mean you have less estrogen being produced? But I certainly don't know this so don't go on just what I say!

I'm experiencing Menopause and it seems my outbreaks are worse. Does this get better over time?

HI, Your symptoms can be due to lack of hormones and this can be relieved by HRT or hormone replacement therapy. However for this you need to consult your Doctor. Also a healthy diet and regular exercise will help keep weight in control and also help with the tiredness. Supplements of multi-vitamins can be taken. Hope this helps. The answer is based on information provided. Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor.
