I've been called in for unexpected surgery in two days and I've heard it's best to discontinue E for the duration due to risk factors related to complications with clots.
1. Just how important is it to disclose my usage of transdermal E?
2. will quitting it for a day before be any use?
3. Is staying off it for a week or two post op necessary?
I'm normally very careful and study interactions and contraindications in depth with any drugs I'm prescribed. I like to be informed. I AM in contrast to this, however, self medicating in this case with +low dose+ transdermal E and AA's for what reasonably obvious stealth factors. I find, as usual, different opinions online as to the dangers (and lack thereof). Folks with a medical background would be very welcome to cast their thoughts here ASAP!
I have filled in the AAs and other various meds on the forms, as technically they're explicable for other treatments besides mtf transitioning, but including E on the forms is going to raise more than a few questions at this point.
