In this episode, we discuss a listener’s question about estrogen cream causing nausea. ‘Betty’ is a practitioner with a client that is having severe nausea as a reaction to her biest/estrogen cream. While her client has experienced much improvement with her hormone therapy, she is having a lot of issues with nausea and vomiting.
In this podcast, we discuss:
Let’s read Betty’s question:
"I have a patient with a history of hysterectomy who retains one ovary. She is currently on Biest cream 50/50, 1 mg daily. She is also on progesterone 100-200 mg orally HS. She initially did well: improved vaginal moisture, great sex and mood. Now she is experiencing debilitating N/V, which she did when taking synthetic estrogen from her gyn. Should I just have her maybe 0.5mg vaginally 3x/week? I have never had any patients experience this. BTW, she was not on progesterone when she was taking the synthetic estrogen so that's why we think it's the estrogen. Thanks."
