HRT?????
« on: March 17, 2015, 08:52:19 AM »

Hi guys, how are you all? not been on here for a few weeks, last time I said I was having period type symptoms and bleeding on Evoril Conti. Well I went to GP  and referred me to gyne at hospital. T hey found a polyps in my womb which now has to be removed, but gyne wasnt pleased I was on HRT and blamed that. He said I needed to come off it asap. as this will happen again, what do you guys think?
Love charliegirl.

There is every chance you may have had these prior to starting HRT...
Same goes for fibroids. Most people have them before HRT.
Depending on the type of HRT your on some actually improve things.

Another misinformed doctor.
These don't occur overnight and the problem is that they don't screen us for them.
So how could they even tell they were "HRT" related unless doc has checked you prior to starting it?!

You were on Conti option so the constant Prog part of the HRT would thin the endo.
The polyps were probably forming years ago when your body was making more estrogen than your HRT can provide now.

Once this has been treated then there is no reason you can't continue with HRT.
The chances of these re-occurring are very low (if treated correctly by Gyne).

But just like getting the polyps treated, It is your choice!
Not that I'd advise not getting them treated :) it is your choice in both treatments to take or not to take.

Hope that helps.
