Hi.

There is a high risk for overuse of such hormones and I would also agree with your doctor not to use those hormones again with fear of cancer development. Unfortunately, the only options left are to go ahead with symptomatic treatment (e.g. if increased acidity then use antacids and change diet). Please speak to your doctor about this.

Best wishes.
