Having a hysterectomy is an immediate journey into menopause but how do you best treat it? Conventional advice is oestrogen-only HRT but bioidentical doctors like Dame Dr Shirley Bond take a very different view.
Having an early menopause can have profound effects, whether occurring naturally or from a hysterectomy.
We know fibroids can be a pain – literally – but did you know hormone imbalance and oestrogen dominance are associated with this condition? Bioidentical natural progesterone can be the best way to get them under control.
