After my hysterectomy I was placed on Estradiol which caused some unpleasant side effects. Migraines, hot flashes, emotional imbalances and dense breast tissue resulted. Several years passed before I was placed on compounded hormones - what a difference! My emotions stabilized, hot flashes dropped tremendously, migraines disappeared and my dense breast tissue reversed, becoming much more normal. Estrogen tabs can cause lumps or other problems in the breast, but the compound hormones made the tissue normal again!
It’s nice to feel like myself before the hysterectomy was performed.
