Re: DHEA Therapy for vaginal atrophy
Hi ladies
I haven't been here in awhile. thought I'd weigh in on the question posed about DHEA. This may or may not be true. My oncologist naturopath said I had to get off of ashwaganda because it could raise my DHEA, which is something one does not want with breast cancer. I had my DHEA blood levels checked after I quit the ashwaganda herb and it was fine. But you might want to question whether you want to be taking any form of DHEA.
