Default What is a good hormone replacement after an hysterectomy with the ovaries left in.? - 12-22-2008, 12:35 AM

I had a hysterectomy in Feb. I have been irritable and moody since about June.I do not wannt synthetic hormones, I want natrual ones. I prefer making my ow combination or a good one, that is not blasted by the company as the be all end all.I did keep my overies, but it seems that I am one of the few that still need the hormone replacements.I have been crying a lot lately, and cannot handle stress like I could a year ago.If you need more information, them please ask and I will try to add it.Thank you ahead of time.

If your ovaries were not removed, you don't need hormone replacement therapy.

This is normal changes in the hormone adjustment due to a partial hysterectomy. To get your female organs back in order is very simple, the hormones just need a little help organizing and getting back to normal.Raspberry Leaf Tea, you can find this in the grocery store coffee isle. Raspberry leaf is a tonic for the entire female reproductive system and is great for restoring"normal"to the system, weather it's PMS or PPS. You can do a goggle search of this herb and really get the full scoop.If you should need something more to soothe your nervous system and help you to sleep, just email me. The raspberry will fix the heightened emotions and help you get to feeling normal again.You can drink two cups a day over the next three weeks, if you feel you need too. But most of the time, the first week every day and then after that as you need it.Best to you sweetie, been there and doing great! I now use Elizabeth's Essence tea for the other I spoke about. If you want more info, let me know.

I worked as an acupuncturist at a hormonal health clinic for a number of years, and we had allot of difficult cases there. Very few of the patients required synthetic HRT. A good percentage used the"natural"hormone replacement that pharmacists blend for them and our MD would order after extensive testing. The testing insured that the patients were truly getting what they needed, and every woman's situation varies greatly. Also, just testing estrogen, progesterone, fsh, etc. in a one time test won't give a good picture of what is going on throughout the month. You need to find someone who specializes in this testing.Of course, these"natural"HRT's are not from herbs (they may start building these compounds with wild yam root, but this is a chemical compound in the end), but they do chemically match the hormones your body would produce without the extra tags that synthetic hormones have. Allot of women thrived on these custom blends without side effects.About 40% of women were able to experience full relief using herbs and acupuncture. We would tailor the treatment to each woman's needs.I hope that this clarifies some of your choices for treatments.
