  • You have to go fo rhormonal therapy and forget all the fakenews that it would be harmfuull. If your thyroid blocks, you take the thyroid hormone as well, don't you, without all this fuss around the risks? Just make sure that you have a thorough gynecological examination to checkout eventual risk factors before, and that they prescribe you the real bio-identical hormones. And then you cant take it, under regular controle, for the rest of your life.
