“I had an emergency hysterectomy after losing a baby and was ...”

I had an emergency hysterectomy after losing a baby and was thrown into post-surgical menopause. I was put on Premarin and never felt like myself. For many years, I was struggling with mood swings, lack of energy, painful vaginal dryness, hot flashes, no sex drive and often felt as if life was not worth it. In 2012 I went to Dr. Teytelbaum, M.D., and she saved my life and prescribed cBHT for me. It changed my life in so many positive ways. I became emotionally balanced, I had a desire to have sex with my husband regularly, I started sleeping better, I had energy, and no vaginal dryness. I felt completely normal, like every woman should. Its a remarkable drug that every woman should have the choice to have if she would like to.
