I had cancer of the lining of the womb and have been told that I can not have hormone replacement , is there anything I can do.Valda Doctor: Hithanks for using healthcare magicIn your there may be multiple reason like hormone imbalance after menopause or metastatic change in thyroid gland or may be due to certain drugs. You should get your thyroid profile done to rule out hypothyroidism and consult a physician for further query. If it is due to hypothyroidism then you would improve with thyroxine hormone otherwise you can go for antidepressants.Thanks
