Avatar f tn But, I think I may be looking at a third Neck surgery. I am 55 now. Also going through menopause and wondering if hormone replacement is a good idea or getting an antidepressant?
Avatar f tn Hormone therapy is really not reccomended after batteling cancer,,,ask your Dr his opinion of a herbal called Black Kosch it is known to be good for hot flashes do NOT take it without his permission, I have no idea if it is safe for you or not.
Avatar m tn Do you need hormone replacement after ovary removal in a 63 y.o. post-menopausal women?
Avatar f tn The thing is, these studies are on post menopausal women. I can see where taking a replacement hormone when your body should naturally not be making this hormone anymore could be bad and I wouldn't do it. But what about the people who were thrown into surgical menopause at a time their body would still be producing it?
Avatar n tn An alternative to Armour thyroid that Medicare/your Rx supplement should cover is a T4 hormone replacement with an added T3 hormone replacement as prescribed by your doctor, according to your needs. Taking daily prescribed medications is no different from taking OTC supplements.
Avatar m tn I've never had belly fat. Over the last year, gained almost 20 pounds and have not overeaten. I've been following a strict low sugar/low carb diet for 2 months and probably only lost a few pounds. Almost all of the weight is in my belly. I've read differing advice from special vitamins to hormone replacement. What works best? I'm 60 years old.
718868 tn?1230730029 I too am on the vivelle dot patch, I change mine every 2 days and also take estradiol one tab at bedtime. I am like a new person. I think they have finally gotten my hormone replacement right. I must say that premarin is one of the older, not so good hormone replacement products available. There are so many new and safer bioidentical hormones on the market like the vivelle. I would go back to my doc, get your hormone levels checked and demand to be put on one of the safer replacements.
Avatar f tn Your question does not state your age and whether or not your ovaries were removed. This information would be useful in answering your question. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is not warranted if you are premenopausal and have retained at least one ovary. In a patient who has her ovaries surgically removed while premenopausal HRT is often considered secondary to side effects to include but not limited to increased risk of osteoperosis, cardiovascular disease and menopausal symptoms.
Avatar f tn Has the patient also had Free T4 and Free T3 tested? Those are the actual thyroid hormones, whereas TSH is a pituitary hormone. If Free T4 and Free T3 have been tested, please post the results and their corresponding reference ranges so we can see the actual thyroid status. The patient will need to be on replacement thyroid hormones; is this patient currently taking necessary replacement hormones?
Avatar m tn These hormones are very important for normal functioning of our body and if there is a deficiency of these hormones it is important to take hormone replacement therapy to overcome this deficiency. Please relax HRT will not damage your brain but is essential at the moment for you.
Avatar f tn A couple of members here, including myself, watched Robin McGraw yesterday speak about bio-identical hormone replacement therapy. Did you know that women as young as their teens can have hormonal imbalances ? And that you can show signs of perimenopause in your 20s... feel horrible and be misdiagnosed with chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia ? And yet the medical field has failed us again on this other issue.
Avatar m tn About 13 months ago I had surgery to remove a pituitary tumor and I am now on full hormone replacement. For the most part my recovery has gone great. However, I believe I do have problems with either the dosage (.125mg) of my thyroid hormone or the drug itself (levoxyl). I have an endocrinologist that has been with me since the surgery and they refuse to change anything because my T4 level is in the "normal" range at 1.5.
Avatar f tn On September 29, 2009 I had a complete hystorectomy with a 10lb adnexal mass removed at MD Anderson. An intestinal type cancer of low malignant potential was found. I am waiting to be sceduled for an MRI & Colonoscopy. After my surgery I was prescribed Effexor for my mood swings and hot flashes. 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 n tn Im reading a lot of advice against the use of hormone replacement therapy, but the studies I have researched report that its the combination of progesterone and estrogen that is bad for you, and that estrogen alone may actually decrease the risk of breast cancer. My question then is has anybody else read any studies similar?
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.
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 ,
Avatar n tn and he flipped out when I told him I was not taking any replacement or vitamins. He wants me to make an appointment with a OBGYN and start taking hormones. I think I probably need them because of these symptoms: hot flashes, severe fatigue, fuzzy mind, short term memory loss, hair thinning, and I go through spells were I have a hard time sleeping. I probably should have done something about this sooner, but I tend to ignore things.
Avatar f tn Hello, After hysterectomy, hormone replacement therapy would consist of estrogen alone usually given daily by pill or sometimes weekly or biweekly skin patch.However hormonal replacement therapy should be given for a short time only as long term use may be associated with a small increase in breast cancer. In my opinion you should consult a gynecologist and start with hormone replacemenr therapy.
