Hi, ladies!
Bear with me here, because I'm starting this post in the mad hope that some of the professionals drop by and read these boards occasionally.
Since being a member, I have come across at least 2 other ladies who were not contraindicated to receiving HRT and were left with none following their oopherectomies. We've all practically had to beg for it!!
This is nothing short of BARBARIC. This is the only way to describe it! No way would a man who has been castrated be left with no hormone replacement if he was eligible to receive it - there would be an UPROAR if this was the case.
So, please - if any professionals are reading this, please bring this important problem to the table at the next meeting of your professional body as a matter of URGENCY. This is causing unbearable suffering to the women involved, and firm guidelines MUST be put it place across the board to ensure we receive the appropriate treatment we need to replace our hormones following surgery, and promptly (to include, without question, testosterone replacement therapy without having to beg or resorting to paying huge fees to the private sector).
Thank you.
