What about ovary removal for safe HRT option?

[Sageda]

Hello,

I ve been reading after body identical HRT, oestrogen only after ovaries being removed being the safest option without the breast cancer risk and l can t help myself thinking if it would be okay to have them removed after 50s? If l will be able to live long because of the oestrogen only HRT without the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, perhaps its not such a bad idea. What are your thoughts and what would be the complications rather than entering menopause. By the way l am in menopause already at 38. Thank you.

You have misunderstood.

It's only estrogen-only HRT if you have your womb removed.

This is a major operation and no one would do it so it would change the type of hrt you use.

I'm sorry but it does appear that perhaps you have a sort of health anxiety. You've had a lot of posts here- that fine! :) - but often you seem to worry too much. You are using hrt because you have an early menopause but from your posts seem to be very very anxious about it all the time. Have you thought about talking to someone about this anxiety?

Hi, thank you. Yes maybe. I tend to think a lot and analyse everything, sometimes overthinking. We have no family both from my partner's and my side and we became parents at a late age and she s a single child so yes l am kind of obsessed with living a long life so that l can be there for her. Lately l ve been reading about how the oestrogen is the key to a long life for women and that there re women out there who re using small doses of it at a very late age impressed me to be honest and of course immediately l thought of progesterone and how great it would be to get rid of it. I wonder about the progesterone regimen of those old women who are in their 80's and who are still on small doses of oestrogen.
