Bad News: These are some of the symptoms of Estrogen deficiency: hot flashes, shortness of breath, night sweats, insomnia, vaginal dryness, dry skin/hair, mood swings, memory loss, yeast infections, painful intercourse, incontinence, and anxiety.
Good news: All treatable
Bad News: Women feel they are the only ones dealing with the 'symptoms I dare not speak of'.
Good News: Normal things I hear in my office.
Bad News: Sometimes physicians aren't willing to prescribe hormone therapy and women are told to 'just get through it the best they can'.
Good News: There are physicians and clinicians who 'get it'. A study published in OBGYN NEWS (Jan 15th 2009) showed the 'whole picture' results of compounded Transdermal Hormone Therapy at 1 year in 150 women treated for hormone imbalance. Blood pressures went down, depression scales went down, clotting factors went down, triglycerides went down.
Call me if I can share some Good News about the Bad way you thought you had to feel.
