Question 3

is it normal to feel dizzy and weak 4 days after hemi-thyroidectomy? when do i get concerned about hormone replacement?

Accepted Answer

Not uncommon: It is not uncommon to feel somewhat weak after any procedure that requires general anesthesia.
If you had only  a hemithyroidectomy, the remaining thyroid lobe should be adequate to make enough to meed the needs of your body for thyroid hormone, but it is important to have periodic blood tests to be sure that your levels are adequate.

Question 4

is it bad that i got the cancer prevention shot and i'm self medicating with drugs like hormone replacement i get them online and i buy the injections?

Accepted Answer

Bad to self-medicate: Unless a person is a trained physician, he or she cannot be buying stuff online and self-treating, regardless of whether the stuff is injectable or not. It&#x27;s a very bad idea. Cancer-prevention shots such as the Hepatitis B vaccine or the Human Papilloma Virus vaccine are available at doctor&#x27;s offices and at public health clinics.

Question 5

i have a history of blood clots and i am on hormone replacement therapy. am i for sure going to get another blood clot? birthcontrol is why i had them

Accepted Answer

Risky: Depending upon your blood clot history, hormone replacement may be risky as it can increase your predisposition to further blood clotting. Please check w/your doctor and make sure they are aware of your entire medical history.

Question 6

can i still get my period if i have no ovaries and have been put on birth control for hormone replacement?  if so where do i bleed from?

Accepted Answer

Still have uterus?: If i read your question correctly, you have no ovaries but have uterus? It is possible to bleed from uterus since the hormone can make the uterus lining thicken and shad off to have bleeding. If you have to uterus also, you should talk to your doctor because it might be serious.

Question 7

i take lamictal 300mg daily for bipolar. i was also diagnosed with a hormone imbalance. i get the pellet hormone replacement therapy every 6 months with testosterone pellets. my testosterone  levels were at "4" when they did the blood work, but they shoul

Accepted Answer

Inadequate data: There is inadequate data to give an opinion. Please clarify the reason why you were prescribed testosterone . It is very unusual to see testosterone implant therapy used in a female.  Also please give precise details of the testosterone level ( total or free or bioavailable ?) and the lab value with units.

Question 8

please tell me, could a woman taking bioidentical hormone replacement have a finding of assymetric density in a mammogram?

Accepted Answer

Any woman can: Develop an asymmetric density. This needs further assessment with diagnostic mammography and possibly ultrasound.

Question 9

if i stop taking hormone replacement,  will my hot flashes return?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Most women will experience hot flushes and or night sweats when withdrawing from estrogen.  Most of those women will see that those symptoms lessen over time.  For many women the hot flushes last only 3 to 6 months.

Question 10

will hormone replacement help relieve crying spells during menopause?

Accepted Answer

Crying spells: If you are going through menopause and have not yet seen your gynecologist to advise you, please set that up.

Crying spells may be related to menopause but it would still be in your interest to see a Psychologist at least once.

You will get over this concern!!
