Hello, I hope you are all having a lovely Bank Holiday weekend. Just wondering if anybody has had their gallbladder removed and still been able to take HRT?
I am going for an endoscopy and an abdominal ultrasound on the 11th of May and from what I gather my consultant thinks I may have issues with my gallbladder. I have been experiencing pain under my right ribs now for quite sometime and have been nauseous and vomiting some days. I seem to recall vomiting years and years ago off and on right around when I started my perimenopause. I had an endoscopy back then and all they found was a hiatus hernia. I also remember getting it while pregnant with my daughter back in 2009 but I put it down to morning sickness. I used to get an awful pain out through my back as well. Well move forward to late last year and I am suffering with pain under ribs on a weekly basis. In January I went to my doctors surgery and saw a different gp who said maybe pancreatisis and sent me forward to consultant. Waited weeks and weeks to be called and no call which i found unusual so i rang gp office and doctor had forgotten to send the request through for appointment. Anyway, going private now and lovely consultant seems thorough wants to do endoscopy and ultrasound and if that shows nothing he wants to do some 24 hour study with camera which I really didn't understand but I'll ask him more about that when I see him.
Anyway, I had come off my HRT of mirena coil and Zoely last month as it wasn't suiting me and was given lenzetto spray and Ultrogesten and I read on the package that if you have gallbladder issues then you shouldn't take them. When I had told the consultant what medication I was on he said they were fine. I havent started the new HRT because I was worried that if they found gallstones or something and they needed to remove my gallbladder that I'd have to stop HRT for the operation anyway so i thought it best to just not start the HRT until I've had my endoscopy and ultrasound.
I am just wondering if any ladies on here have experience with gallbladder issues and whether they can take HRT?
Thank you very much. X
