Avatar f tn Then I went to another gyno who said that recent studies have proved that estrogen only with uterus in tact is safer that in fact it's the progesterone that is toxic. Is anyone receiving the same advice?
678918 tn?1226751211 It's not the caffeine itself but it changes the acid/base balance in the body which prompts the production of Estrogen to increase. It's the increased Estrogen that results in the formation of the cysts ... Fibrocystic Breast Condition. Other Estrogen rich foods can also have some effect ... fats, meats. It's complicated, isn't it ?? Regards .....
Avatar m tn All I know is that after you get pregnant you can use an ovulation monitor as a pregnancy test since it can tell an increase just like when you ovulate. I'm not sure how soon after ovulation it works though.
Avatar f tn Estrogen can give quite a headache, and estrogen levels increase a lot during pregnancy -- try vitamin B 100 and magnesium (be sure to take the magnesium only a half pill at a time or it can give you stomach cramps and the runs).
Avatar m tn retracting penis problem.... I would not be surprised if there is a link to estrogen that might be causing this problem. We (men) are consuming too much of it in our food we must consume foods or supplement to slow down our bodies from producing it. at the same time increase our testosterone levels it makes sense doesn't it. What would we look like if our penis retracted all the way back?????
1575743 tn?1296055983 I don't have PCOS myself, so I'm definitely no expert, but unless you have problems with a thin lining, I don't think estradiol (estrogen) will help. Basically, estrogen is produced naturally as the follicle(s) grow every month...but it won't actually help them grow, if that makes sense. Why are you considering taking estrogen?
Avatar f tn I am a smoker and was told to not take my estrogen replacement until i have stopped smoking. I am not having much luck with quitting completely and the night sweats and hot flashes are horrible! I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with any of the natural products? I have tried estrovan Pm as I am not getting any sleep, but I felt even more groggy and tired when I took that. I cannot go on like this for the nest 20 yrs any advice would be greatly appreciated.
771665 tn?1235155092 Estrogen may stimulate a breast cancer growth (but this may happen over a long period of time) but it will not affect the development of ovarian cancer recurrence..Estrogen along with tamoxifen should protect you from stimulating breast cancer growth. Estrogen does not affect bowel function. I worry that the elevation of the CA 125 might reflect activity with the ovarian cancer. I would recommend repeating the CA 125 and checking the CT scan. please let us know how you are doing.
Avatar f tn Free t4 is a better test than t4, as it is not affected by estrogen. Is she on any type of estrogen? (Birth control for any reason?) This can increase the t4, but not the free t4. You may also ask for thyroid antibodies to be tested. Autoimmune thyroiditis is the most common cause of hypothyroidism.
Avatar m tn Since you are overweight, one possibility is that you have estrogen dominance and T replacement may further increase the estrogen levels, but your doctor must have considered this issue already.May be he wants to try it on a short term basis to test its efficacy. So, it is better to get these points clarified from him. By the way, what was your T levels?, did you check your free T?.
Avatar f tn My doctor is fully informed of what I have been taking and for how long. But thank you!
Avatar f tn I had a 6.7x10.2x6.5 cm cyst removed a week ago, The left ovary that was dead under it had to go. I am menopaused for the last 2 years. Biopsy showed all bening. My concern is not to have future formation of cysts. Is there a diet, specific food that I should promote and others avoid to be proactive? And, is there a way to eliminate those nasty post-op gases?
771665 tn?1235155092 Jan 6/09, Due to difficulty with dysfunctional brain (no hormones) oncologist started 0.625 mg Premarin with Tamoxifen. I noticed a steady increase of hard bowel movements and bloating in my abdomen/pelvis. Feb 17/09 (43 days later) my CA125 count was 220. I am awaiting results of ultra sound taken on Feb18th and a CT scan on my abdomen next week. Why would the CA125 count suddenly rise to 220 during the 43 days of taking the Premarin and Tamoxifen? Thank you for your answer.
Avatar n tn s health initiative (WHI) study does suggest that ERT may be associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer (note this is estrogen plus progesterone, there is no reported increase with estrogen by itself in WHI study). Plus remember tha there have been no studies looking at estrogen increasing ovarian cancer recurrence in women with a known ovarian cancer.
Avatar m tn But, higher estrogen levels indicate high fat level in your body and possibly combined with high average insulin levels. Reducing estrogen level would definitely be helpful. You could get checked for your postprandial (after food) glucose levels and if found high, could correct it by reducing carbohydrate intake, regular exercise and if required additionally by suitable medication.
1999441 tn?1589741765 She still plays around a bit but is mostly non-sexual. If she is put on Estrogen will this increase her sex drive? I thought I had struck gold when I found out about her sex drive back when I first met her when she was 50. When I was 60 I ended up with ED and our sex life ended. I had my Testosterone checked and it was 33. I got put on T shots and now my sex drive has increased like crazy. I also had a cyst on my spinal column and when it was removed I started getting erections.
Avatar n tn However, if he has excess estrogen (which can also lower the testosterone levels), it may be due to fast food intake combined with irregular athletic exercises. I suppose, in this case, by doing optimal continued exercises, along with a controlled food intake, he must be able to reduce the fat in his body, as well as increase the testosterone levels. Afterall, he is very young and athletic and his body would be flexible enough to adapt inself, given the right environmnt .
Avatar n tn My Gyno said that I have probably an estrogen dominancy and I should increase progesterone on 200 mg. I always thought that low estrogen is causing these symptoms. What do you think? My GP told me that my estrogen levels are still low for my age and she would increase the Estrogel, but she isn't an hormone expert, so she don't want to intrude.. Thank you!
Avatar m tn Ok, thanks for the relpy. So it's not beta sitosterol that causes the increase in estrogen levels. Does that mean that BS doesn't cause an increase when taken on its own?
1258539 tn?1293840202 So, if you use the Progesteorne Cream, this should also clear up the problems with the Estrogen. Getting tested for these hormones is hard at best, the one main test that I feel is accurate is the saliva test, it is more dependable than the blood test as that is usually one draw and only a picture of what is going on for that second. The saliva test is done thruoghout the day, it measures different levels at different times.
Avatar n tn daily maca, nourishes the endochrine system of which your overaies are part of, also help any hormonal issues with out containing hormones Royal jelly, great for egg quality spirulina/wheatgrass or vital greens, a great all round whole food which is excellent for you and has been known to help with lowering high fsh
Avatar n tn Hello, It has been found that an increase in sex hormones testosterone and estrogen, along with heredity, weight issues, caffeine, diet, alcohol, smoking, lack of exercise, sleep apnea, heat, medications, eating certain foods, herbal supplements, high concentrations of B Vitamins, etc. can all be contributing factors to high blood pressure in teens/young adults.
Avatar f tn m trying to tough it out but he did offer some suggestions. Soy can help with estrogen levels so I have started drinking a soy drink, called soy revival. This is supposed to help with night sweats, and hair health (mine has been falling out) as well. I have chosed not to take any HRT's but if you talk to your ob/gyn they might have some suggestions. My doctor also told me that if you suffer from pvcs early on in life, that the chances of them acting up during menopause is greater.
