A member asked:
What to do if i'm 42 i have had a total hysterectomy what are foods i can use for hormonal replacement & how does it affect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No effective options: You could get some estrogen from dietary sources. Yams are know to contain estrogen similar to what is contained in prescription medications. However, a woman would need to consume 24 pounds of yams each day to just to get the lowest effective dose of estrogen usually prescribed for menopausal women. There are no reliable and safe non presciption forms of estrogen replacement.
