Dear Taylor, Your lectures are so dense with information, precious education to us lay women. Thank you so much for what you do! WONDERFUL OFFERING to the world 👍💚
@@LenkaSaratoga Thank you so much for appreciating my efforts to do whatever it takes to ensure your understanding. This is the menopause education all women deserve.
I consider your videos to be the most important content for women on you tube- or anywhere, for this matter. I have had the pleasure of watching professor Robert Saplosky's first class lectures at Stanford and I consider this content, while different, just as excellent, educational and engaging. I am sincerely so grateful for your continued, first rate content.
You make me teary, my dear. Thank you so much for appreciating my efforts. I absolutely love giving you this education. I love Robert Sapolsky's work. You'll see that I use it later in this education. (Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers).
I am so surprised at how much I am enjoying learning about this subject! Science was a weak spot in my education. I’ll blame it on the teacher. Lol The depth you go to help me understand is so loving and caring. Looking forward to the next class. 💕
Love the visuals! I had a stage 1A breast cancer and can truly say this helps to understand a path report. When I read mine without knowing anything, I think my heart stopped for a few moments.
I am so glad this helped you, my dear. On May 30, 2023, I'll begin the Breast Cancer unit, which will consist of 55 videos. If you want to truly understand YOUR situation before then, don't hesitate to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME. I will tailor everything specifically to YOU. I do them all online.
I am so grateful for your videos, dr. Taylor! 🙏I have learned a lot, this education is awesome! I have taken notes of all videos to learn even better. Thank you again! 🌹
Dear Dr Taylor, thank you so much for your precious teaching, I wonder if all the gynecologist in France know about all this. I am on hormonal therapy for 4 years now and can not find a dr that will allow my treatment to be more than 5 years. Do you know how to find a dr that will give me the treatment for a longer time? Also is lichen a hormonal dependent disease? Thank you so much for your help Regards
Nobody can find a doctor for you. But, in a consultation, I can school you in precisely how to find a doctor who will help you manage YOUR menopause YOUR way. The key is tailoring everything specifically to YOU. You can schedule a consultation at MenopauseTaylor.ME, and I do them all online.
Ready for class! Excellent lesson that you wouldn't get in a typical medical appointment. You must have had fun at the craft store! When I read the pathology report and it said complex atypical hyperplasia I kinda knew that it was gonna be something nasty when I googled the term...uhm, ya it is...
I just love your enthusiasm, my dear! And I have loads of fun at the craft store ... regularly! I don't think they're surprised by anything I buy any more.
Thank you. At the age of 19 I had dysplasia 2/3 (this is what's stated in the medical records (I'm 47 now)... I had a cervical freezing. I then got pregnant with my first child. I had a PAP done at the beginning of pregnant with my new obgyn and there was still dysplasia....I had to wait until after the baby was born to further treat it. At my sixth week postpartum PAP it showed I was clear of all dysplasia.... been clear ever since. 🙏
I'll be giving you an entire unit on Cervical Cancer 2 units from now (following the unit on Uterine Cancer). But now you understand what "dysplasia" means.
Very helpful video. I am very frustrated at this point and my doctor simply will not answer my questions. I am 60 and post menopause. Unfortunately, HRT (transdermal 0.1 estradiol patch + oral progesterone 100 mg) is causing hyperplasia for me. I did not have that issue with compounded hormone therapy. The breakthrough bleeding is very intermittent and also causing headaches.
I’m familiar with this, and know it can be frustrating. It’s not complicated, though, from what I’ve learned. On the continuous combined regimen (E + P daily) you’re not supposed to have any bleeding/spotting, although within the first 3-6 months it’s typically nothing to be worried about while your body adjusts. Have you tried 200 mg micronized Progesterone? It’s very common that 100 mg is not sufficient with the higher estradiol dosages. Another option is to use a progestin IUD, if you don’t tolerate the higher oral progesterone due to side effects. Another option would be to lower the estradiol dose if you don’t want to increase or change the progesterone. It can take some experimenting, in my experience, to arrive at the combination that’s right for the individual. A knowledgeable doctor should be able to help with this.
Schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME if you want me to tailor everything specifically to YOU and help you assess your situation. I do them all online. The biggest piece of any puzzle is YOU.
@@cm1906 Thank you so much for this! This rings true for me. I don't think I can tolerate 200 mg progesterone, but we have cut patch in half so dosage is now .05 which seems to be helping. Also, I have read lots of women have issues with the "generic" patches, so I will be switching to the name brand "Vivelle" patch this week to see if that helps.
@@melcryarfineart Yes, it may help to try different patch types, including generic and brands. I found that one generic type worked better for me than another of the same strength. Estradiol hemihydrate works better for me than estradiol USP. I was able to stick with generic that way and am happy how it works. I’m not sure about cutting a patch in half to get half the dosage…. That doesn’t make sense to me, although I’ve heard about this from others. It seems like with half the patch you still have the original dosage, just less of it, meaning the patch “runs out” sooner. I think the patches are “programmed” to release a steady amount every hour or so. With half a patch you’d run out after about 2 days, instead of 4, if my logic is correct! 😄 I think this is something a pharmacist should be able to answer. Would love to know! 😃 Wishing you good luck with tweaking the hormone therapy to get it “right”. It’s well worth the trouble, in my experience.
Can women with “heterogeneously dense breasts” take HRT if that’s the only factor which increases the risk for breast cancer? Will HRT likely cause the density to increase on the BI-RADS scale from C to D? Level D states: “The breasts are extremely dense, which lowers the sensitivity of mammography.” What does the latest research say? Thank you!
This is much more basic than you realize. I will cover all of this in extremely great detail in the Breast Cancer unit. But, that will not even begin until May 30, 2023. You need to understand this NOW, and in the specific context of YOUR situation. Please, please consider scheduling a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME so that I can explain in to you fully and ensure that you know precisely what this means. It is not about research. It's about YOU. I do all consultations online.
I had "heterogeneously" dense breasts on all my mammograms up until my last one in April of this year. I am 54 years old. It was noted on this mammogram I had "extremely" dense breast tissue. The only change in this 12 month period between my mammograms is that I started taking oral HRT. (for 8 months) I was called back for more imaging due to calcification findings in my right breast that were not there a year ago, which led to a stereotactic biopsy. The biopsy results came back as ADH (atypical ductal hyperplasia). I then had to have surgery to remove these atypical cells and the tissue surrounding them to confirm no cancer. There is a percentage of women who are upgraded to DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma In situ) Thankfully I was not in that percentage. After doing my own research, because my gynecologist never brought up my breast density as being a risk factor, she only asked if I had a history of breast cancer in my family (which I do not) I discovered there is definitely a link between HRT and the breast changes that I have experienced. There is also an increase in diagnosis of ADH with the use of oral HRT. Dense breast tissue is an individual risk factor for breast cancer. This is aside from the fact that mammograms are harder to read and see small masses for those of us with dense breast tissue. I was so excited to take HRT because it helped SO MUCH with my symptoms of Menopause. I thought I had made the right decision for myself. Now, I would never encourage anyone with dense breast tissue to take it. Do your own research. There is plenty of credible information on the internet that addresses your questions.
A friend of mine in her late sixties has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. She has 12 rounds of chemo, radiation and hormone therapy coming up. She was on HRT for 5 years through peri menopause and the onset of menopause and been using oestrogen cream for 12 months to help with incontinence. She most concerned about the hormone therapy causing the incontinence to return. She’s not very keen to do that. Despite what I’ve explained to her she puts the breast cancer down to the oestrogen she’s was using and says she can’t have oestrogen because she’s oestrogen receptor positive. Is it true that women who are positive shouldn’t take oestrogen which would mean women should first be tested? 🤔
There is no such individual as "a woman," and "women" are not all the same. Every situation is unique. I can tailor all the facts to any specific situation, but generalizations do not benefit anybody. If your friend wants me to tailor all the facts specifically to HER, tell her to schedule a consultation with me at MenopauseTaylor.ME.
@@annief.9256 No I am not at all. But I have watched most of her videos from beginning to end & rewatched many. I am just letting you know that asking a question is going to be answered with probably get a consultation but she does have educational videos about fibroids & you might want to watch those videos & you might get everything you want to know from that.
@@annramsey7907 I have had many questions answered by Dr. Taylor, actually but there seems to be a trend of people feeling deputized to do quite a lot of things these days. So I can understad your answering on her behalf.
@@annief.9256 Didn't really feel deputized. And I did say might & probably. No absolutes of any kind. I was just letting you know she has videos on what you were asking about. I don't care if you watch them or not I am neither sheriff nor deputy. Didn't want a long discussion. Just wanted to pass a little info.
Dr. Barbie, you take any complex subject and make it easy to understand. Thank you a million!
You are so very welcome, my dear. I have a very simplistic mind!
Your Chanel is a Gem. Thanks to you.
Thank YOU for appreciating my efforts, my dear. I love every minute of delivering this education to you.
You would be a great instructor for Cancer Registry classes!
