Dr. Heward explains how a woman can advocate for her health when her doctor does not support hormone replacement therapy/HRT.
Dr. Heward:
If your doctor doesn’t support hormone replacement therapy you need to get another doctor to help you with the hormone replacement therapy. It’s very unlikely that you’re going to be able to bring your physician over the learning curve on hormone replacement therapy to the point where they’re willing to work with you in a way that you need in order to get it right.
So the best way is to find another doc who is really knowledgeable about it and have that physician help you and then stay in touch, maybe even put the two physicians in touch with each other so that the two of them together can help you navigate this process properly. You don’t want to give up a lifelong family doc, but if they’re not prepared or willing to help you solve this problem, then you need to find somebody who is, and that’s not necessarily easy.
