Oophorectomy
"After hysterectomy/oophorectomy hot flashes were unbearable.  After 3 months, doctor prescribed estradiol patch. Was given a generic and it works wonderfully. Hot flashes have subsided, sleeping better and feel more like my old self. I have not had the problem with the patch not sticking, so I&#039;ll stay with the generic brand as long as it continues to help me out."
