Hi
Well, that would be great. But I was just diagnosed with
DCIS . I am awaiting pathology results they won't allow me to take estrogen. I was on it for 10 years. Since being taken off, I've been having constant bladder issues.

I am very sorry that you have been diagnosed with DCIS. I do know this is a problem with taking estrogen. Sometime ago I was prescribed a low dose of antibiotic to take daily. This may be a suitable alternative for you.

Have you gotten a second opinion? I’m no expert, but the experts that I have heard address the issue of local estrogens, even in those with special issues like you describe. They have studies and numbers to back it up. I think the Dr. I mention upthread specifically talks about it. I’d explore a couple of opinions, to ensure their positions are based on facts and not outdated opinions.
