Is There Any Side Effect Of Hormone Replacement Therapy?
I went through menopause at 38 years of age. I went on hormone replacement at the time, and have continued it since. I take estradiol 1mg & progesterone 2.5 mg tablets. I am in excellent health, I have never had the flu. The last time I had a cold was 8 years ago. I get my yearly wellness exam, I all my readings are good. I take no other prescriptions. Doctors have different ideas on hormone replacement, some are for and some are against. Because I am in such good health, I am afraid to stop hormone replacement. My present doctor thinks I am too old & should stop, my previous doctor saw no problem with continuing. What do you suggest?

Hormone replacement therapy predisposes you to high blood pressure, venous thrombosis, breast tumors, etc. Needs regular check up by gynecologist. Hope I have answered your query.
