If someone answers a question about vaginal estrogen with an answer about whole-body hormones, they have changed the subject. drbosserman.substack.com/p/w…
Passage from We can heal it: Second, your options. There are four kinds. 1. Low-dose vaginal estrogen, which stays local. 2. Testosterone at female doses, which is absorbed into the blood. 3. Whole-body estradiol, as a patch, a gel, or a pill. 4. Whole-body progesterone, the natural micronized kind. These are different drugs with different evidence behind them. If someone answers a question about vaginal estrogen with an answer about whole-body hormones, they have changed the subject. Say which one you are asking about, and ask again.

Men get to choose their risk on erectile dysfunction drugs, and women should get to decide on testosterone. drbosserman.substack.com/p/l…
From Dr. Bosserman's post: What I'm asking for. Release the BLISS, patch and gel safety data; include survivors in trials; approve a range of doses; collect real-world data; change the scheduling law so testosterone is unscheduled, like estradiol.

Talk to your doctor. If your doctor doesn't have time to listen or say, this is not my specialty, get another opinion. Find an expert. drbosserman.substack.com/p/y…

So many women do not know that a frozen shoulder in menopause is estrogen related, and we can prevent it. I've had two, and I had no clue.

No woman should be told she cannot have hormones after breast cancer. CHOICES provides education and evidence review in oncology and hormone therapies. Not medical advice. No physician-patient relationship. Consult your own healthcare team. drbosserman.substack.com/p/w…

We should be requiring summaries of results in all presentation that are for patients- how many per 100 who take the therapy benefit in what ways va standard and how many per 100 have specific side effects. Reporting % improvement vs standard or placebo is not patient centric.

For the trials presented at #asco23 and other major meetings, it’s ok to think for yourself ans ask whether the trial was really well done, rather than just join the crowd. Also BTW, the reason we have “Discussion” after every talk is to ask critical questions.
