I Have Been Taking Estradiol (1 Mg) For A Little
Question: I have been taking Estradiol (1 mg) for a little over a month for hot flashes and hair loss. My nipples are hard as rocks and sore, and my breasts are engorged and sore. Never having been pregnant, don't know if this is normal. I still have my uterus but had my tubes tied years ago. The hot flashes have subsided but not sure if this soreness is worth it.
What do you think?

Brief Answer:
Side effects of taking estradiol.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service. I read your query and here is my advice.
If your tubes are tied years ago there is no possibility of being pregnant because it is a permanent contraception method.
It may be a side effect of taking estradiol.
I don't think this something to worry about.
It is up to you to decide if you can continue taking it and having sore breasts or better having hot flashes.
In my personal opinion I don't prefer hormone substitution therapy and especially estrogen.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
