I had total hysterectomy last year and have been having Evorel 50mg patches since i was 6 weeks post op. Everything seemed to be going just fine until 2 weeks ago, i felt a few heart palpitations (which i had before my op as i was pre menopausal) i ve also had a feeling of being hot (like a mini hot flush), and feel like the patch isnt working as good. I have now read that the patches can stop working as your body can stop absorbing the hormone on the patch and that gel rubbed in the trans mucosal way (on labia) is the best way for absorbtion. Anybodys thoughts would be appreciative. I don't know whether to ask doctor to higher my patch dosage to 75mg or ask for the gel?
