oophorectomy
"After a full hysterectomy in 2000 with both ovaries removed, I was given Premarin straight after surgery. 
My Dr now refuses to continue the treatment, and her colleagues will not prescribe as I am her patient. 
Now 3 months without and horrendous problems with lack of energy, emotional outbursts, hot flushes and vaginal skin tearing. 
Dr. still refuses because of cancer risk. I thought that would be MY choice: for better quality of life. 
What to do? Flew to Malaysia and bought OTC. 
Life getting back to normal now. 
Only side effect may be the slight bloating, but I'm careful what I eat and drink to reduce this."
