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.
