Avatar f tn The thing is, these studies are on post menopausal women.

The doctor has continued to increase the dosage up to the highest = 150 mg per day. All it has done for me is turn me into a zombie.
Avatar f tn Hi I had my surgery April 2012. I didn't have time to figure out what was going on. February I went in the hospital because my blood pressure was high. Long storie short, they did all kind of test and found out it was a tumor on my pituitary. My hormones were high too. March I saw my surgeon and a second option. April it grew twice its size and had fluid in it. Did I mention I was suffering with headaches for about a year. April I went out of town.

Then 10 days after my surgery, I had complications, as my bowel twisted and I had to have emergency surgery to have part of my bowel removed.

Avatar n tn 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.
