I had a hysterectomy in October 2009, I was put on the vivelle-dot patch. I'm on the lowest dose (0.05mg). I change the patch twice a week.
I had my yearly mamogram (which has always been normal). I picked up the report today and it says:
Findings: Dense and hetergenous breast parenchyma is again observed with minor asymmetry.
I'm almost 60 years old and have been experiencing severe hot flashes for years. A couple years ago I was put on 0.05mg Vivelle-dot patches. I'm still having the flashes. My forehead, especially, sweats a lot wetting my bangs completely! Would going on a higher dose of Vivelle stop the hot flashes? I want to keep on bioidentical-type remedies and wondered if something else included/instead of would do the trick. I'd greatly appreciate help!
I had a complete hysterectomy 5 1/2 years ago at the age of 35 for a borderline serous tumor in one of my ovaries. I have been on the vivelle dot .1mg patch for several years with no problems. Lately, I have been having symptoms of low estrogen like hot flashes. Unfortunately, my gyn oncologist has retired so I have been seeing my regular ob for my yearly follow up.
To help me avoid radical menopause sypmtoms, my doctor immediately started me on a .5 mg. Vivelle-dot estrogen patch after surgery, and I felt fine. Two weeks later, he added a 100 mg. daily dose of prometrium to my HRT therapy to avoid recurrence of endometriosis growth. My problem is that I am having unpleasant side effects from the prometrium, including exhaustion, minor headache, and lightheadedness. I don't like how it makes me feel.
There are all kinds of lesions that occur in the mouth. It sounds like yours is an irritation fibroma. The black dot may be where it has been bitten, which is actually a little blood spot. I'd let the dentist lop it off--they'll numb you up with a little shot and you won't feel anything after that. You'll be glad you did. If you're afraid to have it removed just let the dentist keep tabs on it at your bi-annual checkup.
Hello all, 2 weeks ago I had protected sex with a female, only vaginal, no oral. Today I was showering and noticed a tiny little red dot in my foreskin. I've felt minor irritation in the rate, but didn't pay too much attention. I further inspected this red dot looking pimple, but it's so tiny I can't make out what it is. I touched it, went over it with my nail, no real pain. Now, it is over the skin, so that concerns me now.

Hi! I agree with Mary regarding the possiblity of adding a little progesterone to your regimen. I'm also on the vivelle dot patch (.075 strength) and have just recently 50 mg of progesterone (which I take orally, but many prefer to use as a cream or gel transdermally). I'd ask your doctor about adding some progesterone to your regimen. Just my thought :-) Good luck!
Hello, I have a rod dot about half the diameter of the head of a nail (not finger nail) on the right side of my genital and im not sure if its genital herpes or caused by irritation etc. About 1-2 weeks ago i noticed it first there wasn't any pus but after a few days i saw a very small white dot didn't know if it was pus or dry skin or whatever. the white spot disapeared a couple day later but the red dot persists.
Up close I can see a little skin irritation, but not much. It honestly just looks like someone put blush in a circular shape on my forehead. The redness has subsided a bit but you can still see it. What could it be? Any help is greatly appreciated.
so basically now it seems to just be irritation with one little red dot? its just a concern and i have bad anxiety....
Has not turned into a scab about the size of a ball point pen maybe smaller. Never saw a blister and never seemed to be an open sore almost seemed like red dot was under skin and came to surface as scab. Not really any pain through out just some irritation from time to time. My wife swears she hasn't strayed and I don't have a reason to doubt her just my worries that this is herpes. But I feel as if herpes is the only thing that could cause something like this.
Hi, I had a complete hysterectomy and have been on an estrogen patch ( vivelle dot) for ten years. I have had migraines for 30 yrs.
I’m really struggling because changing the patch every three days triggers a migraine like clock work. At 12 hrs the pain begins and builds so by 24 hrs it’s debilitating. Pain meds are not an option that frequently obviously.
Would it help to overlap the tone I put one on and take the old one off. Clearly the rise and fall of estrogen is the trigger.
I have been using the estrogen patch (Vivelle dot .1) since my surgery and have had no problems with hot flashes. However, for the past 8 months I having been getting hot flashes every now and then. Is this normal? When I mentioned it to my doctor, he just said I was already taking the highest dose the patch comes in and didn't like the idea of me using the oral kind. I'm just wondering why this would start after so many years and if anyone else has experienced this.
