Hormone pellets allowed me to function physically, mentally and emotionally after my organs were needlessly removed. (I was suicidal for 18+ months post-op while on FDA approved pharmaceutical highest dose estrogen patch before switching to pellets.) Also, there are no FDA approved testosterone products for women so I have used compounded T creams and suppositories since I do not have the benefits of testosterone from my ovaries / gonads.
Few people seem to know that naturally menopausal women's ovaries produce increasing amounts of T over the postmenopausal years. Intact menopausal women have significantly higher levels of total and bioavailable testosterone than either hysterectomized or oophorectomized women - https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/85/2/645/2854045.
With the gross overuse of female organ removal (45% of U.S. women have a hysterectomy), FDA approved hormones are not enough for some of these women. They have to go the compounded route to get some semblance of normalcy.
