Are you aware there are many women who go on HRT develop breast cancer at some point in their lives? Do your research.

I'm 20 + years post menopausal. I have to say it was a new lease on life for me. I absolutely hated the mess, expense, inconvenience, unpredictability, mood swings, and miserable pain associated with having a period for over 35 years.

My female gynecology wanted me to go off of HRT. Basically, she was referencing the Women's Health Initiative. What she didn't seem to know is that study was full of flaws, which my doctor, back in New England, knew. It is important to note that I do have a low risk of breast cancer. By the way, there is new HRT that has nothing to do with mare's urine. HRT has made me into a sane person who can sleep at night. The lack of sleep is detrimental to mental and physical health. I can live with hot flashes but night sweats and insomnia causing me to be depressed and have lack of focus. For me, the pluses of HRT outweigh the risk.

I'm perimenopausal and had planned to try HRT if and when the time (and symptoms) came. My mom and grandmother had Alzheimer's and I know that the loss of estrogen puts women at a higher risk of developing that, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Then last year, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. My particular cancer is ER- and PR-positive, which means it is fueled by estrogen and progesterone ... which means that I have to stay away from HRT for the rest of my life. Worse still, is that I have to take estrogen blockers (tamoxifen, and then, after I go through menopause, aromatase inhibitors) for a total of 5 years. There is so much promising information out there for treating menopausal women with HRT, but for us breast cancer survivors, just doom and gloom, and a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ attitude about how to stay healthy, focused and comfortable without the ability to really do anything about it, other than natural, homeopathic remedies that might help with stuff like hot flashes, but not bone loss, high cholesterol or brain and neurological issues. I feel so hopeless sometimes. I'm only 51. :(

​@beachvacay3184 try taking magnesium supplements. The daily dose for women is just one, 250 mgs pill pee day. For me, after dinner but before bedtime works best. Magnesium is a natural mineral in our body, which is sometimes depleted by many things. It works for over 300 different body functions. I'm 54, went into menopause at 48. The night sweats, hot flashes, during anytime of day or night, even during winter, and insomnia was crazy! Many physicians just don't tell their patients about magnesium. That could interrupt them writing prescriptions or the ability to charge for unnecessary office visits. I work in Healthcare, I see this type of stuff daily.

Why didn’t she mention that the new treatment is NOT from horses?! Premarin is old school. Prometrium is derived from plants and it is much much safer, especially the patch. This was not a thorough report.

I didn't want to stop my HRT, my doctors pushed me to stop. I FINALLY found a woman doctor who was older and had actually read the research and put me back on HRT.

I am almost 79. When I turned 60, I went to a lecture by a OBGYN doctor who talked about the importance of using Bioidentical Hormone Replacement. A simple yearly blood test then taking a prescription to a Compounding Pharmacy for a cream containing estradiol, estriol, progesterone and testosterone. My prescription has not changed over the years. The more I read about how these hormones continue to help us mentally, physically and emotionally as we go forward just reinforces why I continue.

I am 72 and went through menopause in my mid-50s and I’m still having hot flashes. No one, no doctors told me that hot flashes continue after you’ve stopped your period.

I went through menopause in 2018, at age 52 1/2. Not sure why I managed to escape the hot flashes, the mood swings, or the brain fog. Maybe it's due to my vegetarian diet, or that I rarely drink alcohol, or that I live in a walkable neighborhood and then walk to get my errands done. Since 2018, I've completed a couple of university degrees and lost about 30 lbs. The only downside to menopause that I can think of is occasional acne, which seems to be triggered if I treat myself to chocolate, ice cream, or cheese. Other than that, I feel and look better now than I did in my 30's. Nope, I don't take any prescriptions (for menopause or any other health/ wellness issue), but I do take a daily Women's 50+ multivitamin and 1000 mg of Evening Primrose Oil.

Studies on new drugs/therapies/medical devices have always been done on men (fortunately that's been changing in the past few years), assuming that men are the "baseline" for human beings and so women's hormonal cycles would complicate studies. Except not doing studies on how a medication for, say, heart disease would affect women vs men given those differences. The only field that's focused on women instead of men is women's reproductive health. Because, you know, it's not relevant to men. But this is why women often are not believed when they go to the hospital with legitimate health concerns. Abdominal pain indicative of appendicitis is "just menstrual cramps." Signs of a heart attack, which are different in women (and we didn't know that until recently because women weren't studied) are "just anxiety." Women have been COMPLETELY neglected in the health care field for the entire history of the field up until maybe a decade ago.

Their fowls are killed and sold to meat industry or the fowls are raised to live in hell like their mothers. The good news - you can switch to bio-identical FDA approved transdermal estrogen which is safer for you ( no increased risk of blood clot like Premarin), you can save some horses from torture and transdermal estradiol is far better for our receptors.

I will, however, be asking for low stress environments, time to take care of myself. Just the fact that we're talking about it is a huge step in the right direction.

I was actually thankful for the day my doctor told me I wasn't losing my mind and memory (I couldn't remember lots of things)...I was just menopausal!! Of course, the symptoms aren't any fun, but they can be treated. We can get through this together.

The first and only meta study about HRT points to the facat that risk of cancer is 26% lower if they take the HRT within a window within perimenopause/ menopause when the brain still has estrogen receptors in the brain. Once the woman is further into established menopause and has been so..is NOT the time to start taking HRT or to continue to take it forever, for then in fact risk of cancer increases.

Just so you know I had breast cancer { Braca gene} and a hysterectomy. The doctor refused to give me this Hormone Replacement Therapy. My sister since she has history of cancer in our family can't take it as well. So please let the public know that doctors won't give it to patients like us.

There are better choices today.

HRT isn't appropriate for folks with family history of breast cancer.

That’s bs. As long as YOU don’t have it.

@@georgiabessieWhat is your area of expertise that qualifies your statement?

I was lucky. I had the sweats occasionally. Deep anger would be the thing I didn’t like. I refused to let menopause to take over. I didn’t seek help I just kept moving. And then…..nothing I guess I was done. I think it was with me a couple years. My mom on the other hand lasted I think 10 years.

❤😂I got Menopause when I got Chemotherapy age40!! Horrible Dreams. Hot Flashes 🥵 Very Hot 🔥. If I had it to do over again... No Thanks 💯. It's ruined my life!!! Your Health Insurance is more than your Mortgage 😢😮. Absolutely not worth it 😔

Men on pause. Living single.💐💄🪮📻 30 minutes break. Lol.

I really liked my estring. It totally helped with menopause. But, now that I'm 65. and on Medicare, it's NOT covered under my insurance. So, $250 out of pocket seems sexist as if I shouldn't be having sex. Does this happen to men? Not.

I got a case for the record books, no HRT it’s poison. I don’t suffer silently my family knows. And I feel the worst for me not them!

A dear male friend of mine say he’s going through manopause! 🤣

It's called adronopause (spelling could be wrong)

I need to talk to the doctor and ask her questions because all women don’t get menopause because my mother and grandmother and my sisters and myself never had menopause and my children’s grandmother too and every time the question comes up about menopause I get nasty questions about menopause and the truth that all women doesn’t get menopause thanks for sharing I support all women have menopause 😊 4:29

I can guarantee that you all had it. You just went through it with no noticeable symptoms. Some lucky women do. Others, not so lucky.

Wrong. Every woman goes through menopause. Did your periods stop? Then you went through menopause.

Still stopped and effin no to cancer. Have heart disease in our family …

👏

I love estrogen. But cannot have it due to a stroke. But I sure miss it.

From what I've read ultimately a very liberating time for women. No more burdens of joy and monthlies 🎉

i couldn't have any hormones because of a liver cyst caused by depo provera. i had to suffer.

Duh, the biggest benefit is that you can’t get pregnant.

20 years ago it was the Baby Boomers going through menopause. Today its Generation X. Thanks for not making a thing of it in your report, but it is worth nothing that Boomer women have paved the way for a lot of things that woman can enjoy today. In this case it’s destigmatization and better treatments.

Menopause hit me at age 42. I had no idea what hit me.

😢

“The vapors” SUCK!! I would gladly take cramps and heavy periods over this! And I am totally against keeping mares perpetually pregnant, as well! 🤬😡. However, Veozah has been a life saver for me! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Sweat through it and vomited alot glad its over

The last place estrogen pills should go is down the drain as shown in this episode. Really stupid, even if the intent was metaphorical. The proper way to dispose of medications is at the pharmacy; they have closed bins for that purpose.

Found this out in 1998

women can more easily regulate their hormones through food and plants without the increased risk of cancer, why didn't this video mention that?

So use bioidentical cream.

Not taking Premarin. not abusing horses. rather go plant based.
