HRT and surgery - trombosis
« on: June 19, 2016, 04:54:24 PM »

Hello everyone! I am on 1 pump Estrogel daily + 1 capsule Utrogestan 12 days every 4 weeks per month and I have an abdominal surgery in a couple of weeks. I took the Utrogestan for 7 days only this month and I decreased to 1/2 pump the Estrogel. Whats 's normally recommended in cases like this.. stop completely or 1/2 pump is fine? Surgery is supposed to take between 1-2 hours. Thank you.

Your surgeon should keep you right. Try phoning his secretary to find out.

Yes, talk to your surgeon. I have had 2 ops since starting HRT and no one suggested that I should stop HRT.
