I have been taking BHRT since 2013 to treat the sudden onset of menopause at 40 years old due to a total abdominal hysterectomy and oophorectomy (endometrial cancer). Without these hormones, I would not be able to function. Prior to taking BHRT, I struggled with severe brain fog, debilitating depression, hot flashes, night sweats, sleep deprivation, bodily changes, and a drastic decline in overall quality of life. BHRT gave me my life back and the ability to live a productive, active life and feel like a woman again. I would suffer immensely without them.
