Title: return of flushes and nigt sweats
Post by: walking the dog on December 31, 2016, 05:37:53 PM

In February I started on estradoit 50 patch and in 24 hours flushes and night sweats were gone . In September I had mirena coil fitted and the flushes have crept back up in dripping wet and the night sweats have returned the past few nights. I assume this means I need more estrogen? Should I just up my patch to 75 or wait til I see my GP on the 9th ? I'm also waiting for total hysterectomy and been told I can stay in my patch up to and after it so unsure if i should fiddle with it without medical advice ? I had forgotten how debilitating the flushes and night sweats are 😒

WTD

Progesterone opposes oestrogen so that could be why your sweats have returned? Try increasing by cutting a third of a patch to add to what you do and increase that way gradually until your symptoms go
