I have a difficult decision to make in the next couple of months. I have a fibriod, , and they have to take my uterus for that (which is fine). There is the option of them taking my ovaries as well, throwing me into a sudden menopause. The problem is that they can't give me estrogen due to my high blood pressure. If they don't take them when they take my uterus, they may have to go back and remove them anyway. I am of coarse concerned about how sudden menopause will effect my bipolar disorder, especially since I tend to be on the manic side. Any one have any ideas? Anything I can/should look into as far as something to relieve menopausal symptoms? (I take lamitil, lithium, seroquel & buspar). Any specific places to look or contact about this? Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
