For Hypoestrogenism "I had a hysterectomy in 1980 and have been on Premarin 1.25 mg for 33 years and have no problems at all. I love my Premarin. I hope I can keep getting Premarin because there have been times doctors give you a hard time and I need to keep taking it. I have terrible withdrawals. So I need it. I get awful headaches and pain."

For Oophorectomy "I began menstruating at age 14, suffered severe PMS 2 weeks per month, and had severe pain for several days during each period. Age 30, miserable most days, uterus and ovaries removed. Given Premarin & told to never go off. PMS and pain gone forever! Dose gradually reduced & I’m doing fine. 80, taking the lowest dose, .3 mg. Through the years, I tried to go off of Premarin several times & suffered severe hot flashes, fatigue, PMS, and depression. Without Premarin, I do not have a life worth living because I’m sick almost every day & can’t function. I know taking Premarin may cause cancer. Tell your doctor to please give you good information about the cancer risks and a choice to keep taking it or not. I choose to not be sick all of the time vs. the tiny chance of cancer. In my opinion, physicians who refuse to prescribe Premarin under certain circumstances are not listening or don’t care enough. I’ll always choose a physician who can hear & help me."

For Atrophic Vaginitis "Premarin is a complete game changer. I had a 10 cm mass on my ovary and uterine hyperplasia. I thought things couldn't get any worse with pain and discomfort. This resulted in a full hysterectomy and oophorectomy. Then, it went from bad to worse. Atrophy. Sex was so painful I gave up. Even urination was a challenge some days. This went on for a year. Then I started using Premarin. Within a week, things started to improve. I hesitated to use Premarin because of some bad advice from the internet. Premarin is a complete game changer. I wish I would have tried it sooner. I have my sex life back and feel like my old self. Incredible!"
