I started having multiple symptoms a few years after my partial hysterectomy which led my doctor to diagnose Hashimoto's and prescribe Bio-identical hormones and thyroid medications. I am so grateful to have these options since I actually suffer from a sensitivity to estrogen that causes my vaginal area to erode and bleed. Although I need estrogen, I can’t have it and need the bio-identical hormones of progesterone and testosterone instead. I don’t know what I will do without this option.
