Been told by gynae I'm too old for endo but gp disagrees?
I hope someone can help/advise please. I have been having severe abdo/gynae issues for a long time, but they have worsened in the past 12 months. I am 48 and my gp thought it was Endometriosis as I am having bowel and bladder issues, linked to my cycle. The pain is so bad I nearly pass out. I have seen

Stopping Statins
hi guys after a year last year, of frightening chest pains and ? Heart attacks, going through umpteen tests and a stent procedure ( they didn’t put one in as my heart disease was not significant enough). I went from being on 5 daily meds for my heart to then being discharged completely with just taking

HRT and women over 70
Hi all— I read that they offer hormone therapy in Europe, ( even to older women in their 70’s) but not in the US. I asked an Osteo doc in the US why and and she said because we’re not Europe! That’s all! Can anyone offer any experiences along with other ALTERNATIVES to the current batch of Osteo meds

Hi , I’ve just started HRT this week and looking for advice. This is all new to me and I’m so confused.
I tried to google information but and keep coming across conflicting and contradicting answers.
I’m on Kliovance and trying to read up on it. I’m really short tempered and not

Menses, Mtx and Menopause..…
Hello women! I have finally got around to watching the two Davina McCall Menopause documentaries on All4.. I urge you to watch these if you haven’t seen them yet. Anyway. This is a bit of a weird one… I started taking Mtx 12 years ago at 42. My periods stopped immediately. I had a few ‘hot flushes

Vaginal oestrogen and gyno (man boobs) on husband
I'd just like to share my story about vaginal oestrogen. Before I started patch HRT, I decided to try vaginal oestrogen first to see if that would help with painful intercourse due vaginal atrophy brought on by the menopause. My (younger) husband is a health and fitness person who is super toned

Endo and HRT
I have not yet been diagnosed with endo but pretty sure I have it. I'm perimenopausal and my question is has anybody with endo successfully taken HRT? I feel I really need now due to menopause symptoms being so bad but worried about the oestrogen side making things worse. TIA

MRI results show DIE behind uterus and and endometrioma.
Still in shock just home from hspt, been referred to MDT they are suggesting that my choices are full hysterectomy or excision surgery and the mirina. I'm 46 so guess menopause is near but hadn't noticed any symptoms but a surgical menopause seems abrupt. Do people go straight on HRT or do you wait and

Hypo/Hyperthyroidism compared to Menopause symptoms
I've just been reading an article in Saturdays Telegraph on someones story on the Menopause. Having passed through the menopause many years ago, I was reminded of the affect it had on my life at that time. Having forgotten quite a few of the symptoms, I realise that having had a total thyroidectomy

HRT issues - Plus need to hear about experiences with testosterone
I've been on continuous HRT - Utrogestan 100mg, 2 pumps of oestrogel daily and 1 vagirux tablet twice weekly since October 2022. I'm 45. I recently switched from oral to vaginal utrogestan due to depressed mood but that definitely doesn't suit me so I switched back after 11 days. I started to experience

Most efficient way to increase folate?
When I last tested in June my folate was very low, despite iron, Vit D and ferritin being ok. My ferritin is never brilliant, and v slow to increase but it doesn’t seem to cause me any issues. Folate however was below range (2.08ug/l) on the medichecks system. I did continue my supplements but had to

natural hormonal balancing solutions
hi I’m waiting for an op for Adenomyosis and endo this year. I also have fibroids. I’m due for a full hysterectomy - including removal of ovaries and tubes. I gave a coil fitted but it’s not very effective due to the size of my uterus due to my condition. I am getting menopause symptoms but I’m not

Worsening RLS
Will get my Ferrutin checked . Aged 62 female. I have started knitting and sit still for several hours in the evening and wonder if that isn’t helping-had a night off knitting and a night off RLS on Saturday! Clutching at straws? Also associate it with being hot in bed. Not taking any meds at all
