Good afternoon. I am new to this forum. Interested in taking HRT for early surgical menopause. I'm 36 years old. No kids. 11 years of attempts are unsuccessful. In January, I had a hysteroscopy and removed a polyp in my uterus. Histology revealed G2 endometrial adenocarcinoma. It was decided to perform a lower-middle laparotomy and extirpation of the uterus with appendages. The operation was on February 8th. Diagnosis - adenocarcinoma G2 of the body of the uterus 1a st. T1aN0M0. Hysteroscopy after surgery - atypical hyperplasia of the uterine body, chronic salpingitis, paratubal cysts, ovaries - serous and follicular cysts, in one of the ovaries - endometriosis with atypical hyperplasia. She was discharged from the hospital on February 18. The saddest thing is that on February 24, a war broke out in our country. I am from Ukraine, South of the country. And our region was occupied in the first days. I had to bandage myself at the seam and bandage my legs, while hiding in the basement. In April, I managed to get to my doctor for a checkup. Everything went well. The doctor forbade taking any hormones. Soon in May, my husband and I left for Germany and are still here under temporary shelter. In June, I was able to get an appointment with a gynecologist with my diagnosis. The gynecologist did an ultrasound, examined me and prescribed estrogen gel, because all these months I had terrible menopausal symptoms. Inspection every 3 months. Only now I was able to exhale a little and begin to study this issue about hormones, since my doctor was against it, but it was prescribed here. I am always in doubt, am I doing the right thing by applying the gel? I have been studying this forum for several days and realized that closer to the age of 51 you can no longer take HRT. But if the early menopause is like mine, then it is dangerous for the heart and bones. Although there are risks despite the early stage of cancer. I do not have the opportunity to go to my doctor and I would be happy to return home and have everything as before. In Germany we live in a small town where I was able to go to a gynecologist who speaks some English and helped me. I have to trust him at this stage. Understand correctly - ignorance of the language and there is absolutely no strength to study it now. But now I began to have doubts. I really ask for help, who has experience in taking HRT for early surgical menopause for uterine cancer, please share. Or the experience of early menopause with uterine cancer without hormones and whether problems appeared in the future. I will be very grateful. I understand that I have to make the decision myself. Now, when using estrogen gel, I feel good, except for the increased sensitivity of the breasts. But there is always a fear in my head about the recurrence of cancer in the first 5 years. Thank you for your attention. Sorry for the long text and possibly with errors.
