Good morning C= Im having my adam's apple reduction tomorrow, In mexico, My doctor didn't tell me anything about stop taking my TRH, but now when i send him a e-mail with all the medications i take, He tells me to get one letter from my endocrinologist where there says, there is no contradiction of the medication with the surgery, but that's impossible to get since my endo is part of insurance, they don't do that, I cant get that letter for tomorrow :'( I feel i am screwed up
What kind of hormones are you on ? Oral/sublingual, patches ?
Estro and spiro ?
Only contraindication I know of is blood clotting by oral/sublingual estro. But you are not supposed to be long under anaesthesia.
If he is concerned you might take a small dose of aspirin for example(unless allergic).
Cis women have high concentrations of estrogen that do not prevent them from having surgery neither.
Thank you i take prymogin and espironolactone , and patches with etinilestradiol and Norelgestromina, anyway i talked to a endocrinologist, and told me to stop TRH for 2 weeks before and two week later, and he would write the letter i need. So my surgery got 2 weeks late :(
Ah ok... surgeons opinions are mixed... some say it does not matter and can be continued because cis people have surgery with high levels of hormones as well...
and some want the two weeks...
maybe you could start earlier with patches after surgery if you have hot flashes... menopausal symptoms... you might ask your endo...
ok so its only adjourned a few days... look forward to a good outcome :)
hugs
Thank you so much Laura! C=

Most surgeons tell patients to stop taking any medications that contain aspirin or are anti-inflammatories for 14 days before surgery.
But do discuss this with your surgeon beforehand.
Taking even one aspirin or anti-inflammatory will tend to increase the tendency to bleed and bruise at the time of the surgery,
Also talk to the surgeon about not taking aspirin or medicines containing aspirin or ibuprofen for 14 days after surgery unless otherwise instructed by the surgeon as these medications can interfere with the recovery process.
