Hello, i've got scars syndrome and i've had my ovaries removed. Since then i've been on hormone replacement therapy and my doctor got me on a very low dose of estrogens at first not to shock the organism, but I just wonder - should not the dose be increased with time? I've been on my hormone therapy for 2 years now and i'm still on 1 mg estradiol. The results i'm getting are around 40pg/ml of estradiol in my blood. Thank you!

Hello. Hrt with 1 mg of estradiol is fine.in your case, as your uterus is intact, it is important that along with estrogen you take progesterone to prevent side effects of unopposed estrogen.

No. You need not increase the dosage of estrogen, you have options like g shot and o shot to enhance the orgasm. Increasing estrogen requirement will harm other tissues like breast so continue the same regimen. Contact me further details.
