HRT - Hormone Replacement Therapy - Hormone Treatment

wilkyway79 asked:


I want a partial hysterectomy (uterus only) but my doctor is recommended that i get everything taken out and put me on HRT. I think this is defeating the purpose since i have had adverse effects from being on the pill. Has anyone had a complete done and taken HRT and have had any side effects? Has anyone just had a partial to assist with their endometriosis without the HRT? Are there any studies linking HRT with cancer or other diseases? Serious answers only from people who have had the procedure…no opinions please or inane comments about my disease or decision. (i already know a hysterectomy isnt a cure for endometriosis)

Both of my ovaries were left. I am 41 years old and I have endometriosis and I keep having recurring cysts on my ovaries. My gyn is wanting to remove both of my ovaries because of the cysts. I am concerned about taking HRT. I have all these ideas in my head that I will be really emotional, gain weight, etc…. Any insight from others that have been through this would be very helpful. Thanks.
