Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My follicle-stimulating hormone Is 5.74, estradiol is 54, and anti-mullerian hormone is 1.74. But my gynecologist put me on hormone replacement therapy based on my symptoms. Is it okay to continue with the same?

Please help me.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have gone through all the reports and these are absolutely fine, there is no hormonal imbalance or deficiency so no need for hormone replacement therapy specifically at this age. As per your description, there is a possibility of electrolyte imbalance so I would suggest checking serum electrolyte and calcium because in electrolyte imbalance muscle cramps, irritation, mood swings, and depression these things occur, and because of stress scanty menses could occur. Along with the medicines you should do regular exercise, yogasana, and daily brisk walking it will help you to keep healthy both mentally and physically. Keep yourself hydrated, drink at least 3 liters of water per day, and have more green leafy vegetables and fruits in your diet.

Hope this information helps you.

Feel free to ask further queries.

Thanks and regards.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Yes, that is why I suggest there is no need for unnecessary hormone replacement therapy at this age. Is your skin getting wrinkled? Other than electrolyte imbalance this could be due to heavy loss of weight recently or excessive stress.

Thanks and regards.
