S3 Ep169: When Progesterone is Problematic: A Collaboration on a Complex Patient with Dr. Risa Kagan
Menopause experts rarely see patients with no medical issues. We see the patient with multiple medical problems and concerns. In this episode, I bring in menopause expert Dr. Risa Kagan to collaborate on options for the following complex patient.
(Be sure and check out my Substack article that gets into the nuances of bazodoxifene)
Beth is 51 years old. I’ve been flashing for 2 years with no end in sight. I really want to try estrogen not just to help my hot flashes, but also because my mom had osteoporosis. I don’t have osteoporosis yet, but I’m worried since I’ve been told I have low bone mass. My doctor won’t give me estrogen because my grandmother died from breast cancer. She wants me to take raloxifene to protect my bones and my breast, but that won’t help my flashes. I also would rather not take anything with progesterone since when I took it years ago to help with irregular periods, I got moody and bloated. I need some help here. “
*Options discussed include:
*I have no financial relationship with any of the companies that sell these drugs
