J Stent: How long can men keep using stent if TURP is contraindicated? Stage 4 man with mets.
I am a new poster but an old lurker. I was dx Stage 4 16 years ago with Bone Mets and told I had 6 months to 2 years to live. I just retired from being a social work consultant in a school district and up until now PCA has been a virtual disease and my quality of life has been good. I am 74 yo Stage

BATlike therapy
My thought. Please critique this plan. I am not PrC (had RP in 12/2018 and PSAs have been zero since then). Gleason 9, one local lymph node, positive margin. This is my tentative plan (reduce risk of CrPc and increase libido for a little bit each year). 6 monthsBicalutamide, Dutasteride, Zytiga 2

Prostate cancer G9 local lymph node positive. Pos margin.
Hi, I was doing estrogen patch therapy and it dropped my T down to zero. And my PSAs remained at zero. I did this for 5 months but stopped because of the side effects (felt great mentally but no libido and strength loss to the point that I wondered how long I could keep pursuing therapies). So I started

Changing from the combined pill to POP
So I’ve been advised by my GP to consider changing from Lucette to a POP. She advised this as there is a history of breast cancer in the family and so thinks I shouldn’t have a pill with oestrogen in. I’m a little apprehensive about doing this, can anyone share their experience if they have done this

Living in agony
Does anyone have any experience with severe vaginal atrophy in their 70 . My mum has been given every oestrogen cream and pesseries around . No one seems to want to help her . She’s in agony and sits rocking in her chair , crying and unable to have a life x does anyone know if a hysterectomy would work

Tibolone HRT advice needed ! after a total hysterectomy due to Endometriosis
Hi , I had a total hysterectomy 7 weeks ago now due to Endometriosis. Previous to this I was on prostap and HRT patches for 18 months. Doctors just dont have time to spend talking there the various HRT treatments they just want you in and out was the same after my operation in hospital. No aftercare

For those outside UK patch trial doing estrogen patches INSTEAD of ADT, how did you have access to the patches?

First day of treatment for Endometriosis and PMDD (Synarel HRT)
Hi guys, Today is my first day of treatment for PMDD and Endometriosis. I’ve been prescribed with Synarel nasal spray and an oestrogen HRT which is supposed to simulate a hysterectomy, if I react well the doctor will go ahead and give me one. I know you shouldn’t, but of course I’ve been online reading

Osteoporosis, Osteopenia, Calcium, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, etc.
Postmenopausal bone loss has long been recognized as a major problem. It always amused me that women were told to take calcium when their bones were leaching calcium. When osteopenia or osteoporosis occurs following the menopause shouldn't one suspect a hormonal issue? A 1988 paper [1] reported that

Fertilisation fail
I’m a 34 yo currently undergoing my 5th round of IVF. We’ve got 4 PGS tested embryos on ice, and I’ve had one unsuccessful transfer of a 3 day embryo on my first round and subsequently changed our approach to an embryo banking one after a sudden change in my AMH (at last test it was 3.4). For all rounds

Using estrogen and progesterone cyclically or continuously...interested in other people's experiences!
So, I wanted to know if anyone here has gone from using E and P cyclically to using them continuously, and what difference that has made (if any). I'm asking because I emailed my hormone doctor a few months ago to tell her my periods seemed to have stopped (right after I turned 50 in December), and ask

Neupogen wash
Hi does anyone have any experience with the neurogen wash and know where I could have this. I have lining issues waiting for a FET but my lining won’t get above 5mm despite 10mg estrogen support. I have heard about this wash but my clinic looked blank when I asked about it. I’m in East Midlands x

Experiences with Lo-Estrin 20 vs Mercilon
Just wondering if anyone has tried Lo-Estrin 20 or Mercilon (both combined pills with low oestrogen)? Over the past year and a half I’ve been experimenting with different treatments to see what works for me. I tried the Mirena coil (which didn’t agree with me at all), I tried purely herbal/natural remedies

MEMORY LOSS, WAS IT CAUSED BY THE ESTROGEN PATCHES
Following a positive biopsy indicating that I had prostate cancer (3+4) in late 2013, I began a long ADT treatment protocol that included a combination of Lupron, Casodex, Avodart, Xgeva and Metformin until Februaru 2015. I then switched from Lupron to Estrogen Patches and continued the Avodart and Metformin

Cycle estrogen and casodex/dutasteride
I have been on estrogen patches to lower testosterone. Very effective. Undetectable T and PSAs are 0. No depression. But zero libido, loss of strength, and lower RBC (I think that 0 T is going to cause those regardless of how you get there). So I am going on a combo of casodex and dutasteride. Casodex

Endometriosis and combined pill
Hi all. I just wanted to check whether it is ok to be prescribed the combined pill when we have been diagnosed with endo? I am a bit perplexed as I would have thought that we should avoid adding more oestrogen in our body? Thank you.
