Hi.
I'm 29 years old, and last April i underwent a full hysterectomy. Since then, I have been on Premarin and Estratest. I have also gained roughly 30 pounds as well, and these hormone replacements seem to be the culprit. I have been (of my own choice) off them for 2 weeks now, and suffer only mild to moderate symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats etc), however, I am a little nervous that perhaps I am weening off to early? Any ideas?
I would say consult the advice of your gynecologist before going off of your hormone replacement. But sometimes the cons outweigh the pros of taking the hormone therapy so its really up to you to do the research on whether or not you want to go off of it. I really think 29 is young for a hysterectomy though, was it done for cancer risks?If so I would definitely go off of it. |
