Is what I'm experiencing Pelvic Pain? Plus Spritz for Bits?
I'm 77 years old and have been diagnosed with rectocele and cystocele by my GP and also a private consultant, who told me he could do nothing until I had done 16 weeks of pelvic floor exercises. I found a women's health physio who tells me my pelvic floor measures 5/5 on the modified Oxford scale so

Blood test confusion
Hi there, Iāve never been formally diagnosed with endometriosis but was told by my GP at 14 that I likely had it, but there was no point in confirming as the procedure to do so was evasive, thereās no treatment except the pill, and it would all sort itself out once I got pregnant. Symptoms were long

Perculiar symptom (earache)
Hi all, This is a really random symptom I have and I am convinced it's linked to high estrogen levels or hormones. Every month I will get an earache with sinus pain across my cheek prior to my period. Ive noticed it for a number of years and only recently put 2 and 2 together, but I also haven't asked

Hypothyroid symptoms but normal test results
Thank you in advance for any insight. These are my test results, sourced from a private company - Randox. I would be hugely grateful for any help in interpreting these or my symptoms. I have experienced severe weight gain - which NOTHING will shift including weight loss drugs. I have had a hormonal

Sporadically fall backwards with no warning
3 weeks into new dose of 100 levothyroxine (on waking) + 2 doses of 7.5 t3 (one on waking and one at 3pm - [built up gradually]).

Reassurance please
Hi, I have a diagnosis of an autoimmune thyroid condition. Went privately as NHS tests all within range on tests. Waiting on further bloods, which has been difficult to get done, so I can have follow up appointment with private GP for thyroid treatment. Appointment in July. In the interim I did see NHS

Itcing and cramp in menopause
I'm 62, a late comer to the menopause. No hit flushes as such, just overall hotness. When estrogen starts to diminish, does it do it bit by bit? I seem to be ok for a while, then another symptom kicks in. Atm I have itchy arms and sore joints. It's a bit debilitating. Also cramp has returned in

How many Estrogen Patches to use?
Here's a plot of the Estradiol serum concentration (pg/mL) as a function of total dose (micrograms) of estrogen patches over 1 week. The plot tells the number of patches and how often to change them. The three data points fall nicely on a straight line, which makes good sense. The PATCH study used

Does this sound like Hashimoto's please?
Hello, My thyroid has been under suspicion for many years but I cannot seem to get any answers. Postnatally, (four months after giving birth), some fifteen years ago, my TSH was tested and was 12.6. Nothing was done about this. ( I have only just seen this on my NHS app). Fast forward to eight years

Tibolone HRT offered for pain relief of Pudendal Nueralgia alongside 3 injections of Zoladex into the abdominal wall?
Hi everyone, I had a gynecologist offer me Tibolone HRT tablets alongside 3 injections of Zoladex into the abdominal wall 4x weekly. Looking these medications up I've seen a ton of side effects like most meds. The gynaecologist agreed I had normal hormones and no gyno problems or endometriosis but being

Estrogen has been used for 85 years.
I made this chart which shows the historical timeline of Estrogen use for treating prostate cancer. Estrogen has been used for about 85 years, with various forms of delivery. With the exception of high-dose oral estrogen (DES) causing blood clots from 1945 to 1970, the other forms of estrogen (e.g.

Another question: did anyone have all their joints crunching, clicking, and sore when their b12 dropped into deficiency range?
Another question: did anyone have all their joints crunching, clicking, and sore when their b12 dropped into deficiency range? My joints in my spine, and hips, shoulder, especially. They click and crunch since I dipped into serious neuro symptoms when b12 likely tanked last September. I also had genitourinary

Affect of Alendronic acid if needing dental work?
This aspect bothers me as well as the implications of taking Alendronic acid. At age 81 after taking AA for about 18 months, I stopped it after I was prescribed HRT patches for another problem . Whilst HRT protects bones to a certain extent , I believe it doesn't increase bone density as does AA.

Unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy anxiety?
I have surgery next week and Iām terrified. They say they can āprobablyā do it laparoscopically, but this really isnāt reassuring. The thought of the scars, people going inside me, being so vulnerable to others, the pain, the hospital itself, having people feel sorry for me, itās all making me sick and

Looking for Estrogen users...
Hello, I'm doing a survey of estrogen users. I'd like to find out: 1. How many patches or gel pumps do you use a day, or a week? And what dose of E2 patches do you use? 2. What's your PSA? 3. What's your estradiol? 4. What's your testosterone? 5. What's your DHT (if you measure it)? 6. How
