Using Estrogen Replacement Ring. Cannot Be Located Now. What To Do?
i am 55 years old and have been using the estring 2mg estrogen replacement ring for the past 5-months. I am close to changing time and have been also sick with flu type syptoms over the past week and have been losing my hair for about the past 3-weeks. I went to check on the estring placement and can not locate it. I am worried it is lodged somewhere and causing me to be sick. my docter is out of her office this week. should itry and go see someone else to loacte it, and can they get lodged where you cant reach them?

Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Estrogen replacement ring usually placed in vagina. missing ring, you would have expelled it while straining with out knowing it.
You can get USG abdomen and pelvis done.
Hair loss could be due to protein deficiency, take nutritious diet.
Flu like symptoms could be a viral infection, not to worry, take symptomatic treatment.
Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards
Dr. Vidya
