Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) after a hysterectomy

Posted by kerstenk @kerstenk, May 28, 2021

I am 41 years post total hysterectomy including ovaries and have tried 14 types of HRT all resulting in these terrible adrenaline surge type reactions that stop after i stop taking the medicine. Without HRT i feel awful. Any thoughts?

Did you have a hysterectomy, including ovaries, and the surgery put you into menopause? What was your experience? What medical specialty (your gynecologist?) helped you figure out how to deal with your menopausal symptoms? Were you prescribed HRT and what worked for you?

Helen, Ginger,
While I am speaking from a husband's perspective, my wife had a hysterectomy at the age of 46. She suffered with horrible pain, clotting for years with numerous attempts to resolve. Fibroid tumors and Endometriosis. Ovaries were healthy and stayed intact. Fast forward several years and ovaries were no longer producing hormones. We became associated with a Dr who was Holistic in his approach and really helped resolve her symptoms. We are now in Florida and under the care of Dr. Cross at Hormone Therapy of Citrus County. She has opened our eyes and doors to approaches that I did not exist. If nothing else, read up on her approach and look for someone who matches her skillset. https://www.citrushormonetherapy.com/
