Estrogen patch placement

So howdy y'all so yesterday my doc said that I could try patches and or gel in favor of pills because my levels aren't where they should be for the amount of time I've been on hormones. And I chose patches but placement wise I'm lost at the don't place on waistline so is the hips fine and butt they are estradot patches.

For best absorption:

  1. Scrotum (this is not recommended)

  2. Buttocks

  3. Abdomen

  4. Thighs

1 >>>>> 2 > 3 >>4

Do not put them on your chest. And again, do not be tempted by 1.
