DO YOU OR DON’T YOU REQUIRE TREATMENT WITH OESTROGENS?
Posted by adminThis is up to you, and may depend on the severity of your symptoms. As far as I am concerned I am neither of the group that says ‘It is best for everyone’ nor am I against it. I prescribe oestrogens for those whom, after full examination, I feel it will benefit, and for whom I believe it is safe. Oestrogen therapy should not be refused, nor should women worry about taking it, but like any therapy it should be used with caution and administered in the safest possible way. After all, this applies to any therapy.
If you are in doubt If you have symptoms, try replacement therapy. You can stop at any time; you will know in a short time if the symptoms are relieved and you feel better for it.
What is the safest possible way?
The safest course of replacement therapy is the method outlined in the guidelines of our clinic. We see patients six to twelve months after they are stabilised on treatment, examining their blood pressure and their breasts and looking for any untoward side-effects. We give them a full examination and pelvic examination yearly, and we do a smear test yearly for two normal smears, then every alternate year.
