So far is more than 3 months I'm in HRT with weekly estradiol patches.
I'd had some issues like a red spot with the size and form of the patch, circle around 2 inches diameter, during and after remove it that last almost a month, dry skin and itching that goes disappearing after 3 or 4 days.
I asked endocrinologist, who's no more seeing me because he will leave, for alternatives like injections or pills and he said that the first give you a peak of hormones and don't work as the patches slowly releasing.
He said that the last, pill, has some serious side effect affecting the liver.
Anyone experiencing the same, normal? Using different ways for estradiol?
Thanks.
