What doctor do I see re HRT?
I had a hysterectomy 5 weeks ago, but he left one ovary. I also had rectocele and cycestocele repair & a bladder sling. A gynecologist did the hysterectomy but a urologist who specializes in prolapse problems did the rest and is the one following up on the surgery. Because of the extensive scarring he wants me to use estrogen cream, but due to some health issues I'm scared to try it. Before surgery my family physician had told me not to use any HRT. Now I am having depression problems, my face is chapped from crying & my husband is fed up with me. The urologist doesn't seem very sensitive to woman's issues. Should I stick with him to talk about HRT & possible alternatives, go back to the gynecologist, or talk to my family physician? Who helps you with these issues? How do you know if its hormones or just depression? I don't know where to start & have to go back to work soon. I'm 54.
