Estrogen Therapy and Symptom Relief

If you have had a hysterectomy with removal of your ovaries, you may experience menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. You may find that these symptoms have a considerable impact on your quality of life.

The good news is that there are treatment options available to help relieve these menopausal symptoms. The Climara® patch, which is a form of estrogen therapy (ET), gives you the menopausal symptom relief you may need now …as well as osteoporosis protection for your long-term health. Estrogen therapy works by replacing the estrogen your body is no longer producing due to surgical menopause.

Many doctors and healthcare professionals recommend starting estrogen therapy as soon as possible after a hysterectomy where your ovaries are removed. The Climara patch can be used immediately after surgery, while you’re recovering in the hospital, to prevent menopausal symptoms.

Ask your doctor or healthcare provider if estrogen therapy with the once-a-week Climara patch is right for you!
