Hormone Replacement Therapy Update after Hysterectomy, Potential Ovarian Failure, and Perimenopause
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 фев 2024
- In this video, I update viewers about how my hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is going six months after beginning it. I talk about changes in dosage, changes in administration method (troches to lotion), and changes to my care team, in an effort to better manage my symptoms. 
Link to my previous video about HRT: • Hormone Replacement Th...
Specifically, I discuss my reasoning for changing my administration method from troches to a lotion, and discuss the need to increase my testosterone dosage. 
I also explain that I am still trying to fine-tune my hormone regimen, and still think that I potentially need more estrogen.
I explain the various symptoms of hormone deficiencies that could be caused by a hysterectomy (with or without ovaries intact), perimenopause, or classic menopause.
I share some of the benefits of hormone replacement therapy for women, in immediate term and long term, as well as some risks associated with NOT using it.
I also attempt to debunk the myth many women believe that hormone replacement therapy puts you at an increased risk for various forms of cancer. This is a common belief due to a flawed study that came out in the early 2000s. Today’s doctors should be able to accurately counsel you on the actual risks, which are minor, considering the benefits and risks of not using it. Here are few links about that:

thank you so much for sharing your story, there's nobody else on youtube talking about the prolapse issues/surgeries. I have watched all of your videos and really appreciate you being to transparent and honest about your journey, thank you and I hope you find your OPTIMAL hormone levels soon!
Thank you for sharing this. I am looking at the possibility that I will have to get a hysterectomy due to health complications, including prolapse. You are an awesome lady, I am so grateful to you for this channel. All the best - from Scotland ❤
You should find a surgeon who can fix your prolapse and do not get a hysterectomy. I am 37, and I feel exactly the same as this lady here sharing her real story. Having a hysterectomy was the wrong decision for me it just gave me more health problems than ever before. 😢 I am ready to leave my home and husband behind because I am not normal. I developed some type of autoimmune disorder. I can't stop thinking about the surgery. My doctor was completely wrong about my endometriosis diagnosis. I trusted him, and it was not worth it. I trade my uterus for a real illness💔. My ANA came positive but I still do not have lupus. My thyroid antibodies are so high. I am so afraid of making the wrong decision once again.
I wish I could find a doctor who actually cares about their patients and can order all the labs for me.
I need to make sure I do not have cancer before starting HRT.
My kids need me 😢 they are 12, 7, and 3 year-old
I had a hysterectomy two years ago but kept my ovaries. I have the same pain on my neck and shoulders like you have. I'm not sleeping much at night. Im sure that's due to the lack of hormones.
Thanks for sharing your journey and wishing you great health.
Yes, talk to your gyno. If they blow you off, find someone else! You don’t need to hurt like that!
I have the same neck and shoulder pain, I am dealing with perimenopause for about 2 years now, and now I am 7 days post op after total Hysterectomy, due to adenomyosis and fibroids, i kept my ovaries, I just turn 50. We do need estrogen to function.
@@SimonaDelean. Yes we do need estrogen. Go to your GYN doctor. They will check your hormonal levels and will give you hrt if needed. Best of luck
Thank you this is so helpful. I am awaiting more surgery to repair further issues after a prolapse repair and hysterectomy, very similar to yours. Your videos have been so informative for me and I think HRT after surgery will be the key, thank you so much and I wish you well with your journey.
A lot of doctors don’t understand hormones, including endocrinologists and Obgyns. I’ve been trying to find balance for years after birth control messed me up. After my surgery I was told I wouldn’t have to worry about HrT because I kept my ovaries. Boy was that wrong. Then after numerous attempts at HRT I developed irreversible melasma and hrutism on my face and water retention problems. What a ride. You must be moving in the right direction without these kinds of side effects. Please keep updating and sharing doctors (if you can). This is draining my bank account and I’m just getting worse.
You are so right. It is unfortunate how many docs are under or misinformed, and are making women worse with their treatment plans... or lack of treatment. I was told the same about my hysterectomy with ovaries intact. I released a video TODAY talking about that, and cautioning women to reconsider if they're suggested to have one. I can't really recommend a specific doctor, but can say that what has been most helpful to me is meeting with a hormone specialist. I am lucky that there is one affiliated with my gynecologist's medical team. She is actually a women's health pharmacist/hormone specialist. Google to see if there is on in your area. She has been instrumental in my care, and has even changed my regimen from what my gyno originally suggested. I am so sorry about your side effects. That is awful. I am wondering if they had you on a very high dose of testosterone, as that is what would likely cause that. I have 2 grams of T in my hormone compound lotion. I have been worried I may end up with some of your side effects, but so far have not. I would love to know how much they were giving you.
Thank you! I’m on a mission to find a women’s health pharmacist now, thanks to your sharing. My doctor gave me zero testosterone or progesterone. I only got estrogen, so I asked if maybe it’s estrogen dominance. He said that’s a myth. I need to move on. I’m going to check out your new video. You’re the best. Thank you.

Thanks for you update ❤
Thanks
I wonder why you were prescribed progesterone. It's my understanding that you don't need it if you've had your uterus removed.
While the conversation regarding progesterone after menopause has largely focused its impact on the uterus, the medical community is increasingly recognizing the value of progesterone beyond the endometrium. Most importantly, progesterone is associated with a plethora of critical central nervous system functions, and the dramatic drop in progesterone that follows bilateral oophorectomy may have a significant impact on mood, cognition, and neurogenesis. In fact, multiple studies have found strong evidence of progesterone’s neuroprotective effects. Basically, research is finding that progesterone is a key hormone to replace for short and long term health. It’s not just important for counteracting estrogen in cancer prevention. Many doctors don’t yet realize its value though.
