Depression, Mood Swings, Irregular Periods After Discontinuing Triphasil. Had Breast Cancer. Early Menopause ?

my wife had breast cancer 6 years back and is clean at present. Last year October she was told that she must stop using triphasil because of the estrogen . Since February her menstruation became irregular and from July she is menstruating every second week. She went to her Doctor and he test her estrogen levels and said it ishows that she might be in an early menapause. The doctor don t want to prescribe anything for her because she was a cancer pasient and she must consult her oncology doctor which she will be seeing in two weeks time. At present she experience depression and moodswings. The question is what to use to eleviate the situation till then. Her age is 45 and in good health.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
hello

welcome to healthcare magic

First of all relax

Her depressive symptoms and mood swings may be related to her menstrual problem. Alternatively, she might be suffering from "Adjustment disorder"....


Since her doctor is not prescribing anything before consultation with oncologist....... she can consult a psychiatrist for psychotherapy and counselling sessions as well as medication.......

Alternatively she can try some relaxation exercises like yoga, meditation and deep breathing etc

Good Luck

thanks
