hi ladies ,,was wondering if i will be in need of a small dose of estrogen after the hysterectomy ,had everything removed cervix uterus and ovaries ..i wont be producing anything now is there anyone gone through the same who knows if it would benefit me thanks x daisie

Hi daisie - yes, you would almost definitely benefit from some oestrogen post operation.  Hopefully they will prescribe either a patch or the gel to help with any menopausal symptoms. I'd discuss this with your doctor. 
Hopefully others will be along who have had a hyster and can offer you advice. Dg x

Hi Daisie

I had the same operation as you back in May.  I had to go on HRT as am I am only 43.  If you haven't gone through the menopause you are advised to go on HRT to protect your bones. 

My consultant advised me to wait 4 weeks after my op to start it so things had time to settle down.  I only had a few warm moments before I started HRT.

I am on sandrena gel at the moment.  Not having a great time on HRT so trying different things to help.

My advice would be if you are not getting any symptoms don't rush into HRT.

Sorry you are feeling a little low this week Daisie but it's still very soon after your op. I hope you are resting as much as possible and being waited on!

As for HRT - I'm not sure whether it is recommended after a diagnosis of endometrial cancer as this type of cancer is often oestrogen-driven. It will depend on your gynae's advice I think. Your GP may wish to wait until he/she hears from the gynae. Let us know what the doc says.
