Brief Answer:
Please start HRT

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Please start HRT.

Request your doctor for a prescription for combination of estradiol valarate tablets. These tablets will help you.

There is no reason for your doctor not to prescribe HRT. Please request for prescription of the same.

Let me know if you need any more clarifications.

Regards,
Dr. Mahesh Koregol
