I was diagnosed with a borderline tumour in June 21 following a total abdominal hysterectomy. My consultant doesn't want me to take oestrogen so HRT is out of equation. My GP has prescribed Sertraline for flushes. I started them today and have had nausea and a little bit of running to loo.

Hi everyone. Hope you’re all ok. Just after a bit of advise. I have been on prostap since October following excision in July, my specialist said I could be on it for 2 years then he would look at a possible hysterectomy.

I have had this light brown pigmentation under just my jawline that I developed after having a thyroidectomy in 2016.

Hi ladies, I’m wanting to have Oestrogen and Testosterone implants as I don’t absorb transdermal HRT. It’s my only option left as I have dreadful menopause symptoms since my hysterectomy.
