What would be the reason that estrogen depletion symptoms are not cured by estrogen in a woman who is post hysterectomy?
Because the ovaries do not make just estrogen. The ovaries actually make androgens and enzymes, and the hormones needed are created in the blood by the precursors created by the ovaries. So you end up with estradiol (most potent human form of estrogen), progesterone, and still have some of the intermediary androgens used to make the estrogen and progesterone.
What you are calling a hysterectomy here might actually be a "complete hysterectomy," or an "oophorosalpingohysterectomy." That is when not only the uterus is removed, but the ovaries and Fallopian tubes are too. That is what a veterinarian does when they spay an animal. They remove everything. So when the ovaries are removed, women lose not only estrogen, but the other hormones as well. In addition, they would likely need more estrogen and doctors are too scared to give enough estrogen to help them. They often don't realize that surgical removal requires more estrogen than natural menopause does.
Then you run into issues with bio-availability and hormone ratios. Human females have 3 main estrogens circulating - 17 beta estradiol (e2), estrone (e1), and estriol (E3). Hormone replacement replaces only one since presumably, the body can convert between them as needed. Whether women in this age bracket who have surgical menopause can convert between them is another issue. While compounding pharmacies can make you a ratio similar to what is found in other women, the FDA doesn't approve the addition of estriol, nor do they ban it at this point either. Estriol seems to do well enough on its own at relieving hot flashes without causing breast symptoms. But if given in high dosages, estriol can break down into an estrogen compound that may be implicated in certain cancers. Nobody has submitted estriol or a combination drug to the FDA for evaluation, so the medical profession cannot legally make any beneficial claims for it.
What else can I help you with?
Should you use birth control after a hysterectomy without removal of ovaries?
The answer depends on the reason for the hysterectomy. If done for control of endometriosis, using birth control might make sense to decrease pain. But there is no need for pregnancy prevention after removal of the uterus, and no need for estrogen support if the ovaries are still in place.
What does ozone depletion potential refer?
Ozone depletion potential refers to the potential at which the ozone is depleting. Human activities are the main reason for its depletion.
Can anyone get a hysterectomy?
The first and pretty much only requirement for a hysterectomy is having a uterus. Having said that most doctors will not perform a hysterectomy without a medical reason (although if you have the time and money anything is possible).
What chemicals do housekeepers use that relate to ozone depletion?
Chemicals contain CFC's. They are the primary reason of depletion.
What gland seretes estrogen?
Estrogen's are produced primarily by developing follicles in the ovaries, the corpus luteum, and the placenta. Luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates the production of estrogen in the ovaries. Some estrogen's are also produced in smaller amounts by other tissues such as the liver, adrenal glands, and the breasts. These secondary sources of estrogens are especially important in postmenopausal women. Fat cells also produce estrogen,[6] potentially being the reason why underweight or overweight are risk factors for infertility.

Does insurance cover hysterectomy?
Yes, my mother has had one and she is fully covered. There is no reason for them not to cover her unless her employer doesn't offer health insurance or she can not afford it. Those are the main circumstances. One last reason is if her health insurance has dropped her for a previous reason such as she did not notify them of a past medical issue. Hysterectomy is not a reason for no coverage.
What is the reason that the lavender top tube should not be drawn prior to drawing electrolytes?
A false depletion in the electrolytes. The depletion of sodium will not be accurate.
Why might people get confused about aerosols being the reason for ozone depletion?
Aerosols do contribute to depletion. They contain CFC's which deplete ozone.
What are some issues with ozone depletion?
Ozone depletion is the process of thinning of ozone molecules below a certain concentration. The main reason behind ozone depletion is the excessive use of CFCs.
How can we extend estrogen period?
One reason to extend estrogen production for women during their lives is to make sure that you're getting the right minerals and vitamins. Another way is to take estrogen supplements.
What is the primary reason for the depletion of the ozone layer?
The primary reason is the use of CFC's. They react with ozone to deplete it.
