Postmenopausal. Done Davinci Hysterectomy. Taking Estradiol. Is My Body Producing Estrogen At This Age?
I am 66 years old, post-menopausal, had a complete, davinci robotic hysterectomy 4 days ago...and I'm doing really very well (no real pain, constipation, or gas). I am tired, have soreness, bloated belly, can't eat much at a time, and can only walk for about 15 minutes outside on level ground. I am pretty fit, not heavy, and want to do EVERYTHING I can to heal quickly and well. Anyt suggestions? Also, do my ovaries produce any estrogen at this age? What hormonal reactions should I expect? Thank you!
ps. Dr. thinks I developed uterine cancer (lymph nodes clear, no other treatment needed) due to taking Estradiol for 2 years

Hi, it appears to be due to the gastric irritation of the antibiotic you are using post operatively,or anemia, or hypoprotinaemia or urinary tract infection. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
Thank you.
Thank you.
