“Estradiol cream shrunk my urethral caruncle”
I am a 70 year old woman who was diagnosed with a urethral caruncle as a result of low estrogen 3-5 years ago. The caruncle was bleeding, partly due to my low platelet count. I felt frightened by circumstances out of my control. My urologist recommended & prescribed cBHT estrodiol cream which shrunk the size of my caruncle. It worked and I’ve continued to use it to this day. I am so grateful for this natural hormone therapy. I live in fear of the day when this therapy is no longer an option, and I’d have no choice but to take pharmaceutically produced hormone cream which could result in cancer, or have surgery which would leave me with a leaky bladder and all the attending circumstances due to my sensitive skin. For 35 years I’ve done Kegel exercises, and I’m unwilling to submit to surgery when my caruncle size can be managed with cBHT estrodial cream!
I have chosen to be as drug free as possible all of my life; as it is healthier for my body. I do not take prescription drugs, and I wish to keep it that way. My body is highly sensitive to unnatural ingredients and will react to chemically altered substances. I do not wish to use any synthetic, chemically modified substances on myself, and do not understand why those in charge would take away something as helpful as cBHTs.
I’m living proof of the benefits of estradiol! I don’t ’understand why the need to limit cBHTs. I believe I have the right to choose my path in life rather than have it dictated by others. The wide-spread use of cBHTs is actually Preventing Public health problems. There is no safety risk with the use of these natural substances. Because these hormones are plant based there is no possibility of them being harmful or cancer causing.
It is my firm belief that the medical field should allow the option of natural cBHTs, as not every human body responds the same way to introduced substances. Taking these hormones away would result in many more health issues. In my opinion the real public health concern would be the control over cBht’s by the FDA and big Pharma! That would diminish our quality of life & lead many people to despair; because it would compromise our physical health and even psychological health. Throwing out a wonder cure and deciding to turn back the clock of medical science is both foolish and unwise. Those denied access to cBHT’s –would feel manipulated, controlled, angry, fearful, & anxious about their future health!
What’s happened to being broad minded? Natural products are as effective as man-made ones, and in some cases more effective or the only way for certain bodies to heal! People tend to forget that natural medicines existed before pharmaceuticals! Without the base of natural cures there would have been no structure to begin to develop pharmaceutical drugs. My fear is that if I’m unable to purchase this product, I’ll be forced to use a substance that harms my body, or wear diapers until I die! How inhumane, depressing and demeaning! Do I need to go outside of the USA to find the things I need? What is happening to our forward, cutting edge medical example to the rest of the world? Are we, as a result of our greed, becoming worse than those we view as ‘less advanced’? They because they ‘know no better’; but we, due to a lack integrity or conscience? Please, I beg of you, choose wisely!!
