Oophorectomy
"After a full hysterectomy in 2000 with both ovaries removed, I was given Premarin straight after surgery. 
My Dr now refuses to continue the treatment, and her colleagues will not prescribe as I am her patient. 
Now 3 months without and horrendous problems with lack of energy, emotional outbursts, hot flushes and vaginal skin tearing. 
Dr. still refuses because of cancer risk. I thought that would be MY choice: for better quality of life. 
What to do? Flew to Malaysia and bought OTC. 
Life getting back to normal now. 
Only side effect may be the slight bloating, but I&#039;m careful what I eat and drink to reduce this."
