It is disappointing that MDs blame this on the media. There is now a lot of discussion of how flawed the WHI study was; but the medical profession should have looked at the study issues, not at media coverage. Additional studies from 2006-2012 already debunked the WHI study. Yet from 2012 to at least 2022, doctors were still not offering HRT options.
I’m in perimenopause and my doctor prescribed Premarin for vaginal dryness and other issues. I’m now down to .5 two times a week. Is another estrogen better? What if years ago I had a small fibroid? Would that impact it bc of the estrogen? I’m also on progesterone it’s helping a little with short but still not sleeping through the night. Is it problematic if I started it right after my period ended instead of waiting till the first of the month? I was just so eager to try to get a good nights sleep
I was told that estrogen in the bioidentical form of Estradiol (such as the Vivelle Dot patch) is superior to Premarin, which is not bioidentical estradiol and comprises horse estrogen. Progesterone also must be taken with estrogen as it lowers the risk for uterine thickening and bleeding.
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I’ll be speaking with my doctor today and I’m goi g to ask her if she can switch me to estradiol. I am really hoping it gives me some relief. I’m so tired of feeling like crap.
Thank you 🙏🏾
