Hey

,
Good question. Finding the root cause of blood loss after a few years of being in menopause is worth exploring. Without knowing more about her I can only help you so far.
If you meant your relative was on hormone replacement therapy, she could have experienced bleeding as a result of being on high dosages of estrogen. I would recommend her to do some form of testing to see what is actually at play.
With hormones, you don’t want to ‘guess’ what is needed. Giving estrogen to someone who is low on progesterone for example can make women feel worse. Besides that you would like to know how the body processes estrogen and progesterone as well. Personally, I would like to know:
• What are her current estrogen/progesterone levels?
• How is she breaking the hormones down to the metabolites? (phase 1 detox)
• How are the metabolites broken down? (phase 2 detox)
• Is she constipated or can she get rid of the estrogen that has been broken down to the metabolites?
The DUTCH test answers these questions. If she already did a DUTCH test, knowing her results will allow us to give more personal advice.
If she likes to use bioidentical hormones: there are different kinds of options, but again: what she needs should be based on her symptoms, lifestyle, medical history and lab values.
