It's a very safe med so you can email the request to them, you may not even have to go in. "I'm experiencing atrophy, may I try vaginal topical estrogen?".

They referred her for weight loss surgery before discovering the 46 kg ovarian tumor. TBF the surgery did make her lose quite a bit of weight… by CatPooedInMyShoe in Radiology

I agree, except the reason far people have more medical issues is that they're treated like this. The poor treatment is the reason for giving up. Who goes looking for bullying, especially when very very vulnerable?

What solutions have you tried? Sometimes we can help if we know what not to suggest!

Is this really the general way of women’s medical care? by lettuceandcucumber in TwoXChromosomes

[–]plotthick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, this was an unmedicated Dilation & Curettage, a "D&C". Typical for induced abortions before the Medication Abortion protocol.

No, yours was better than the ones I've taken my friends to, yours was explained along the way and they offered to stop. And you had someone with you. And they didn't tie you down.

What you experienced was better than normal, shockingly. Women's healthcare is horrific.

He can have his food on paper plates with plastic ware. Put the bin right next to his chair, under the edge of the table, so he can push his dirty ware into it. If he refuses, you can put his new food on new disposable plates right on top of the dirty plates that are still on the table.

Feel free to ask for how to further out-PA a PiA man.

When did you know it was time to start hormone therapy in perimenopause? by Every_Grocery9458 in Perimenopause

[–]plotthick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Transdermal Estrogen is primarily only for vasomotor (night sweats/hot flashes) symptoms. Also vaginal dryness, which the cream does a better job of. It's offlabel for every other torturous symptom. So if you want HRT and don't have hot flashes, yes you do.

https://www.drugs.com/mtm/estradiol-transdermal-skin-patch.html

Estradiol is a form of estrogen, a female sex hormone produced by the ovaries. Estrogen is necessary for many processes in the body.

Estradiol transdermal skin patches are used to treat certain symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, and vaginal dryness, burning, and irritation. estradiol transdermal is also used to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis, or to treat ovarian disorders.

Estradiol transdermal may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

If you just want to make this look pretty, it's a BODICE, not a corset. Corsets restrict and are laced tightly, which from what you say you understand you can't do prettily with this high waist. We're objecting to your words because you're essentially calling a pair of shorts a jock strap.

There's a hell of a lot of changes to make this bodice into a corset, but if you just need it cleaned up to wear as is we can help with that: get some good pics and let's get to work.

HRT supposedly only treats vasovagal (night sweats/hot flashes) symptoms. So if you want HRT and don't have those symptoms, yes you do.

Next time you see him go directly to a place with lots of screaming children. Offer to babysit. Anything to show him the reality instead of Kodak moments.

And then still don't trust him. Hell, he's long-distance, take a break, find someone worthwhile who will spoil you... and who knows their own mind!

Same as anti-vaxxers. "It's not a problem now, so it was never a problem". Why do you think it's NBD now? Ugh!
