This is a thorough and informative article - thank you! Question: I’ve been using the vaginal estrogen for years and have never found it covered by Medicare. My 45 gram compound is about $60. Where do I get a tube for $13 that lasts 2-3 months?
Dr. McBride, thank you so much for writing and sharing all of these great articles week after week, year after year. It truly is a gift to all of us and to our physicians. I am a much better patient because of what I learn from you - I ask better questions, enter the conversation with reliable background info, and am also better at assuming my doctor WANTS to know what's on my mind and is eager to help (because you are!) You started something great and have served me and many others well for so many years. I have passed along your conversations to others and always look forward to learning from you. In addition to dealing with physiology and medications, you have such a compassionate way of talking about mental health. I appreciate how you always offer hope along with facts and research. Truly grateful for you! Jane
This was a tag team of goodness!!!. It’s like when a caring friend that you have known forever comes over to chat❤️Thank you both!!! Just Be Real should be the podcast for this😆😆
Sono dell'opinione che con il gel transgenico cutaneo non possono aversi che risultati scarsi , invece con l'assunzione orale di ormoni la cosa e' diversa anche se ci si espone a rischi maggiori, purtroppo l'invecchiamento e' un processo inevitabile che tutte le funzioni vitali del nostro organismo subiscono un rallentamento, certo possimo ritardare tale processo con un corretto stile di vita , ma purtroppo come diceva Cicerone la vecchiaia e' una malattia in se.
I didn't hear Dr Ruben say how often to use the estrogen cream. Over the years I've been instructed to use anywhere from .5gm to 1 gm and 1-2x per week to daily. I see the pkg insert rec is .5 gm for 21 days then off for 7 days. Does that 21/7 pattern repeat forever? I'm 69 and don't have UTI problems.
