I am leader of the first support group in Austria for women without
ovaries.
These Women do need hormones, because oophorectomy makes them loose their
own hormonal production by the ovaries. So they would loose their quality
of life by loosing the ovaries.
And it is really surprising, that some countries in Europe, as
FRANCE, always for years have chosen the way to subscribe transdermal
oestrogens, and micronised prosgesteron, and the number of oophorectomies
is low - and in other countries as in Germany and in Austria this is NOT
the case. Many women loose their ovaries and receive oral oestrogens and
they don't know anything about these studies!And many gynecologists do
still ignore the harm of women in the so called "surgical menopause".
Now it seems to be proven that the transdermal way to give hormones
is the less harmful one- and so also the concerned women in ALL countries
must be immediately informed about this knowledge!
I want also respond to Dr. Martina Dören about her rapid response,
concerning the loss of quality of life in menopause. She denies in this
response the possible loss of quality of life- and she apparently does not
know about the great impact of the total loss of the ovaries.
These women loose oestrogen, progesteron and androgen production from one
minute to the other. The concerned women have to deal with a lot of
harmful consequences and these women DO need good, modern hormon therapy,
whith the little side effects as possible.
So I wish strongly that the results of these studies will be realized
as soon as possible for the well being of the concerned women!
Rapid Response:
Concerned women must be immediately informed
