[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get in with your doctor soon for systemic estradiol. Hot flashes are not just annoying.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hot-flashes/symptoms-causes/syc-20352790#

“ Research suggests that women who have hot flashes may have an increased risk of heart disease and greater bone loss than women who do not have hot flashes.”

There are still significant risks to hormone therapy:

“What are the risks of hormone therapy?

In the largest clinical trial to date, hormone replacement therapy that consisted of an estrogen-progestin pill (Prempro) increased the risk of certain serious conditions, including:

Heart disease
Stroke
Blood clots
Breast cancer

….

All of these risks should be considered by you and your doctor when deciding whether hormone therapy might be an option for you.“

“How does hormone therapy affect my risk of cancer?

Estrogen-only therapy causes the lining of the uterus to thicken, which increases the risk of endometrial cancer. Adding progestin decreases this risk.

Combined hormone therapy is associated with a small increased risk of breast cancer. Women with a history of hormone-sensitive breast cancer should try nonhormonal therapies first to treat menopause symptoms.

Combined hormone therapy also may reduce the risk of colon cancer.”

“Who should not take hormone therapy?

Systemic hormone therapy usually is not recommended if you have ever had:

Breast or endometrial cancer
Stroke
Heart attack
Blood clots
Liver disease

Hormone therapy also is not for pregnant women. Stop taking hormone therapy if you get pregnant or think you may be pregnant.”

I think we should also list the things it protects you from? Like vaginal atrophy and osteoporosis? All of this is really important to discuss with a doctor and full medical history.[/quote]
