Perimenopause Help

Question by TB: Is it safe to take estrogen progesteron and herbs for hot flashes together?
I am on estrogen alone and it is not working for me. Doctor cannot help, doesn’t feel I know what I am talking about. I had a hysterectomy 6 years ago(ovaries out) and have been miserable ever since. A friend suggested adding progesterone and herbs. I do not flash, just live in a oven. Is it safe to take all 3 together?

Progesterone can be taken with certain herbs in limited dosages, but if you are also taking any prescriptions for it (or a prescription level Progesterone), I would recommend that you ask a pharmacist if there are any interactions listed between the drugs and supplements you’re taking. Doctors and pharmacists both have access to a database of drug and supplement interactions and they can tell you quickly if you can safely take them together or not…. anyone here will just have a best guess from searching on the internet (which isn’t always accurate, as we all know) Good luck!

is it possible to give women suffering from menopause estrogen and progesteron in order to stop bad effects of menopause on them?
if so,then why there’r still women suffering from it?
