“I had to have a hysterectomy. I was not in menopause when I ...”

I had to have a hysterectomy. I was not in menopause when I had the hysterectomy, but it began soon after my surgery. It caused so many problems. I had chronic UTI's, vaginal pain, itching, and I had difficulty sitting on my lady parts in a chair. My GYN doctor sent me to another GYN that he said could maybe help me. I am now on pellets that I get every three months, and I take bioidentical hormone replacement. I am back to my old self prior to surgery. I have not had one UTI since my treatment, and I have a normal sex life again as I have no more pain in my lady parts. I am so happy to have this option as it has changed my life. I don't know what I would have done without it except continue to live in complete MISERY.

Hear their stories. Protect their own words. Protect their access to compounded medicines.

On this page, we can only touch on the data that demonstrates the importance of compounded medicines to the lives of millions of people in this country. While the decision to take this vital therapy from patients and physicians might be profitable for big pharmaceutical companies, it will be disastrous for the millions of patients that those same pharmaceutical companies cannot serve!

We encourage the appropriate committees in both the House and Senate to hold hearings on this critical issue.
