What is the best hormone therapy (HT)? I had a hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy when I had surgery for creation of an ileostomy. I still have issues with hot flashes, but I do not like taking pills. Is there another option?
There are multiple options for hormone therapy that are not in pill form including:
- Patches
- Sprays
- Gels
Typically, when ovaries are removed, a woman no longer needs progesterone, only estrogen is needed. Please see your women’s health physician to discuss what hormone therapy options are available and right for your body.
