Progestogens - a British Menopause Society video
Mr Haitham Hamoda, Consultant Gynaecologist, King’s College Hospital, and Trustee - British Menopause Society, answers these FAQs: Why do you need to take progestogen with HRT? Are all progestogens used for the purpose of systemic HRT similar in the way they work and in their risk profiles? Can progestogens be administered vaginally or by other non-oral ways? Can progesterone only contraceptive pills be used as an equivalent alternative for the purpose of HRT? Do women on high doses of estrogen require a proportionate increase in the progestogen dose?

Is unpredictable bleeding the only reason to do cyclical??? I don’t want to do cyclical and have periods. I’d rather have some breakthrough bleeding than a period every month!
This is misleading. She says if women in 50s are taking oestrogen and progesterone, only 6-9 extra women per 1000 will get breast cancer. To start, it is only 23 women per 1000 that get breast cancer in 50s. Suddenly, instead of 23, we have 29-32 women, that is an increase of 30-40%. I took number 23 from UK statistics, while it is 27 in New Zealand. Still, my point is that the risks are considerable.
I'm a cancer rehab specialist and one of my recent clients got breast cancer after being on HRT for just over a year. Her doctor is certain it was the HRT that caused it. Her mother passed away from breast cancer and she's not been given any genetic testing. There seems to be a big push for HRT in younger women now starting peri-menopause but I'm very dubious as to how safe that really is despite the other benefits HRT brings.
I'm a very rare case, I maybe has it already at 42 I stopped having periods, went to my gp and was put on hrt. I started feeling ill within months but didn't know what it was, I stayed on hrt for 3 years got worse worse then I realised there was such a thing as endometriosis. My gp should of checked if I was postmenopausal, I now have it in my throat nose and every part of my body. I don't think my period had stopped. It's in my kidneys now
😢
How would you evaluate if you need more progesterone versus less estrogen? what target numbers would you look for in testing?
different drs have different opinions... I know one of my favorites (elise Gersh) says that she likes to see estradiol level around 100. This is higher than what others say. I think the average is somewhere between 50-80...
@@jennysiepka9900 Thanks! I was using .05 patch and progesterone 200 mg and my estrogen levels were 48 and I started spotting. We increased my progesterone to 400 mg but it made me anxious. My doctor switched me to .03 patch and my menopause symptoms started coming back mildly so now I am back to .05 and my progesterone is at 300mg and I feel good and no more spotting.
There is far too much fear around bleeding on MHT - it takes years to develop endometrial cancer, it doesn't just happen after a few months! Even in the past when estrogen alone was used, only a minority ever developed endometrial cancer. I do think women are being scared witless unnecessarily. The combined pill can also be a great option for under 50s - taken every day it can stop bleeding completely as well as treating vasomotor symptoms!
I agree !! I am 58 I have been on ovestin vaginal cream for 2 yrs for horrendous bladder and vaginal atrophy that my gp said is perfectly safe hrt I was very apprehensive going on it in the first place but she insisted eastrogen vaginal cream is very safe and I will be ok I use it everynight as I'm in so much pain with atrophy I started very light spotting for 2 weeks due to thrush as I was red raw inside and out after a gp examination i was never given an explanation that hrt cream can give you thrush and atrophy can make you spot too as soon as I used the canesten cream the spotting stopped virtually after 1st application! but this didnt stop my gp from sending me for a internal ultrasound which I was fine about but the sonographer then said oh your womb has thickened to 10mll this happens on hrt I was told by many woman taking it the sonographer said you will need a biopsy I said do you see anything nasty no but you will need to see a gyne !! so along I went to a gyne who tried to do a biopsy without any anesthetic i was told to take a paracetamol an hour beforehand honestly it was like being flayed alive!! But I lay there crying in pain but suffering it to get it over with She failed the biopsy!! then said I will now need a biopsy and a hysteroscopy to be flayed again!! And my app can take 30 weeks wait uk nhs!! I insisted on local anesthetic when I do eventually have this torture done to me again as I cannot take the pain what the failed biopsy did to me sent out in agony bleeding ect asked if I was wearing a sanitary pad by a nurse then thrown out to just find my way home !! I was crying and nearly passed out with pain an elderly lady had been there before me came out crying and collapsed!! Its time this horrendous flaying of woman stopped if it was a man recieving a vasectomy it would be all bells and whistles for them I'm terrified of what they are going to put me through again I cannot eat , sleep, function I'm living in fear lost 2st in weight due to no appetite through the trauma the gyne put me through I'm still breaking down crying daily my mental health is failing me with fear and the nhs think this is acceptable!! 😢😢😢😢😪
The breast cancer risk chart on the British Menopause Society education page clearly indicates the risk goes way up with a BMI of 30+, so substantially more than the risk of breast cancer with HRT. This video states that the risk is similar.
What woonderfull to know about this
I had breast cancer that was labeled ´estrogen receptor positivé. It was encapsulated in a duct and no lymph nodes involved. They took me off my HRT. I want it back!
I have a similar story and I want my HRT back too
How does one know if they have fully entered menopause if on cyclical HRT. I am on cyclical, yet my periods appear to be irregular i am 54
NOTHING I can say would CONVINCE you; so FIND out for YOURSELF. "The Hormone Myth: How Junk Science, Gender Politics, and Lies about PMS Keep Women Down" by Robyn Stein DeLuca is a very concisely informative read on this topic. "The Greatest Experiment Ever Performed On Women" by Barbara Seaman is also vital, and ought to be a "required course" in the journey of being female!✍
Great informational video. Given that 'most' middle aged or perimenopausal women are not tech savvy, it would stan to reason that any information given out by Gynaecologists should include links to these types of videos to allow people to be able to digest the information at their own pace and in the own environment.
I had to stop taking HRT as it was feeding my cancer. So I don't believe you.
HrT is bullshit and does zero, except big pharma profiteers
Please answer.... A woman 60 diagnosed with ADH (atypical ductal hyperplasia). Can this woman continue her long and successful use of HRT... oral. And please discuss Duavee!!!!1 We need more information!!!!!
Read the 2 books I refer to in my comment on this topic.🎯👀
This guy is downplaying the risks of hormones. Women should beware of doctors advice. Hormones cause cancer. The medical establishment likes to push mamograph screening (its a multi billion dollar industry) and hormones (dito). Both have proven cancer implications. Follow the money and beware of doctors.
Antidepressants also never worked for me.
CBT has never worked for me
Can't have estrogen as I have endometriosis, can't have progesterone because pmdd
Laughs in caffeine makes me sleep
Is there value in taking progesterone if in menopause, taking estrogen with a Mirena?
Yes, true progesterone taken orally ie Utrogestan, has systemic benefits beyond just protecting aginst uterine cancer, I take it still even in surgical meno with my uterus removed.
Hi i have had a D C because of bleeding on HRT Still after DC I'm still bleeding on HRT What is the answer to bleeding after surgery? Is it to much of one of the the HRT ?
Bull shit, my oncologist took my hrt clean out of my hands when i was diagnosed with estrogen fed breast cancer.
Your oncologist is full of shit. You should educate yourself before commenting. Estrogen doesn’t feed cancer. It’s a big fat lie
@alexislopezamezquita6800 Women have been lied to based on the media reporting on a trial called the WHI and a trial called the habits trial. Estradiol and progesterone NOT progesterine are safe and possibly protective. The number one cause of death is heart disease not breast cancer for women. You need to educate yourself. I have er/pr+ breast cancer.

When was the last time you slept 7/8 hours straight?? Very little improvement on HRT, and see doctors talking about sleep hygiene and supplements. It is pathetic! We need more research!!

Hi, interesting, as always! I am a 65 year old male and I want to minimize osteoporosis risk. I do a lot of self study and I learned about natural ways to avoid future use of bisphosphonates. This class of drugs bears the risk of osteonecrosis, e.g. jaw fractures, and kidney damage. What I found is a combination of *vitamin K2* (in the MK7 form, minimal dose 100 mcg daily, activates the natural system of bone maintenance by osteoclasts and osteoblasts), *vitamin D3* (e.g. 4000 mcg daily, allows for uptake of calcium from food, has several other functions, e.g. gene expression) *Magnesium* (300-400 mg daily, required to work with vitamin D3, and has many other functions) and unknown by many: *BORON* (3-20 mg of elemental boron daily, I take 10 mg. Boron regulates Calcium, Magnesium and Phosphorus in the body, increases free Vitamin D3 by hydrogenation, increases free testosteron in man, oestrogen in women, has strong anti-inflammatory properties, anti-mold properties. Post menstrual women almost stop losing minerals in their urine. I prepare my own supplement from a very low dose of borax without any toxicity issue: *dissolve 10 grams of borax in 500 ml distilled or demineralised water* 1 ml solution contains approximately two mg of elemental boron per milliliter. I take 5 ml of the solution daily in a glass of water, or a cup of coffee. 1 kg of borax costs approximately $10 and in this dose is good for some 30 years of use. Daily cost $0.001, so it is clear why it is not teached and prescribed, sadly..) I really think this info should be teached and applied because it supports the natural, functional way the body functions and is without side effects. Final notes: 1. Boron is extremely effective against arthritis pain and functionality of joints. It cured me in 6 weeks from pain in my wrists and fingers and I am able to open a jar effortlessly again. 2. Boron stimulates sex hormones and should not be used in people with a sex hormone sensitive cancer or in pregnant women.
1) I don't feel like any complementary therapies have been explained helpfully here, despite the title. The message I'm getting is don't take St John's Wort or Black Cohosh. Why isn't this video being recorded by someone qualified to lecture in complementary therapies? 2) Last time I checked oxytocin causes breast milk production and let down, not the opposite as you state 3) Thanks for letting us know that CBT doesn't take all your problems away 4) Of course there are few grade A, RCT /longitudinal studies. Who would fund them? 5) To quote the WHI study which was famously flawed and has caused more issues for menopausal women than it has helped, is laughable. 7) Despite the title, you actually talk more about HRT, SNRIs, vasodilators and anticonvulsants than complementary therapies 8) I hardly think Vagifem comes under 'complementary therapies'. It is listed in the Electronic Medicines Compendium: www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/5719/smpc#gref I could go on, and this is a just a 10 minute clip! Please consider taking down and re-recording with more helpful content on complementary therapies, advising front and centre, that people should go and see a qualified, insured and professionally regulated therapist who will tailor a treatment, whatever that is, to the individual patient. A combined approach can be extremely effective for many patients. Regards, Rachel Boon Naturopath & Herbalist BSc (Hons) Human Biology Dip CNM Herbal Medicine Dip CNM Naturopathic Medicine
What is the difference between testosterone, evorel and utrogestan? Do you need the whole combination or just one?
Evorel is a brand of oestrogen delivered by a patch. Utrogestan is micronized progesterone, taken as a capsule. Testosterone is not licensed for women in the UK, but some specialists will prescribe a very small dose of the testosterone gel used by men (far less than men's dose). There is a testosterone cream licensed for women in Australia and, as Dr Pannay says, can be bought in the UK on private prescription (after consultation with a medical professional). Most women on HRT begin with oestrogen and progesterone (if they still have their uterus the progesterone is essential) and then might discuss testosterone with their specialist at a later date. Not all women will need testosterone. Hope that helps.
The risk for breast cancer is negligible when you consider the many health advantages of HRT including prevention of dementia, bone loss, heart disease and some cancers along with alleviation of low mood, depression, anxiety, associated self-harm including but not limited to alcohol and drug use and an improvement in sexual drive, confidence, sleep and more. Sadly one poorly conducted study blown up by media decades ago has meant many generations of physicians are fearful of and refuse to touch HRT. It’s created a huge barrier for most women in getting proper treatment.
I absolutely cannot function without my plant based HRT. It is amazing. So thankful.
What is this plant based hrt
@@leeannmansfield5254 it is estrogen and progesterone that is made from wild yams. Your body is suppose to accept it more so than synthetic hormones made in the labs.Therefore, many drs say it is safer. It is called Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Your gyn may know about it.
Progestin is important for other things…including sleep. Regardless of whether you have a partial or full hysterectomy if you aren’t sleeping you may need progestin!
You try to ask for help but the GPs just say it's anxiety or stress and dismiss it.. ive had to move surgery's twice just to find one that listens. Now I'm getting more tests and investigations in whats going on with my body hopefully a answer that I've needed the past 4 years. xx
I'm so happy about this!!!

It is wonderful that it is being taken seriously by more companies now - much more needs to be done, of course, but the revolution has started at least!
On reflection, a pity that this excellent programme did not (could not!) 'name and shame' examples of the still many busineeses that are not currently on-side with menopause education.
I think awareness like this is the better option!
The workplace ethos needs to be more generally compassionate, accepting and relaxed about people expressing their ups and downs without being judged, for everyone.
Looking forward to it! How much longer will we have to pay for our HRT and not only that but for TWO prescriptions for our HRT each time (for those of us who are pre-menopause ie not on a combined prescription)?
I’m 39 and just found out I have been sick the past seven years because I had went into menopause somewhere around 32. I thought the medication will make me feel better but now I’m hearing her say that the medication may make me feel sick still!? 😩
Can cause a horrible life to live I believe it could cause ladies to want to die
I'm already lost with my GP.. im trying to find the right HRT for me.. I find no help in my area... I feel disappointed and let down.. 😕
Is there a national free Menopause charity where you don't have to pay for private medical care. It's disgusting how you go to so called charities band organisations hoping they can help you. Yes you can get help like a nurses appointment for £30 or £70 for a doctor!? How is that fair? My NHS GP care for surgical menopause from ovarian cancer recurrence and not allowed HRT is so bad and under funded. It's quite appauling. Only helpful if you want to go private? Exploiting a captive audience of women desperate to get help its absolutely useles.
