What Causes Abdominal Bloating And Excessive Loss Of Hair In An Elderly Person?

Question: I have recently been denied estertest med. at age 71 . I had tried stopping this med. when I was in my 60's but could not tolerate the all day sweating and being up all night awake, the bloating , loss of hair, dry hair and skin,. I feel so good on this med. I have been taking it since a total hysterectomy in 1985 or close to this time.
Brief Answer:
You can try the non-hormonal treatments
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.
I have read your question and understand your concern.
Even if you will stop estratest, you can certainly go for the non-hormonal treatments.
But most non-hormonal treatments only treat hot flushes and night sweats.
You can benefit from lifestyle changes, stopping smoking if you do, improving diet and regular exercise.
I've witnessed many women benefited from black cohosh and soy isoflavones.
Please feel free to ask any further questions.
Regards
