Re: Hypoestrogenic young womenFrom: J. Hellriegel (jhellrie@pce.net)Thu Apr 27 20:39:02 2000
Some years ago I had a similar case. Patient in early 20s status post bilateral oopherectomy for large dermoid cysts. I changed her from Premarin (.625) and Provera to OCs because it seemed to me that a young women needed a higher dose of estrogen. However, I could not find any justification for my decision in the literature. If you find any information, please post it.
