Suggest Remedy For Hot Flashes When On Estradiol

I was just told that Estradiol will damage your heart, is this true? I have been taking .5 for 15 yrs and due to just getting the rest of my female organs taken out it has put me in menopause and terrible hot flashes now they said to double up on the Estradiol. I need some advice? What a scam I pay my dr enough there was no where in here that said I was going to have to pay! Forget it! I will research elsewhere!

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

One of the main reasons for the use of hormone replacement therapy is the prevention or treatment of symptoms of menopause.

If symptoms are still present then it can be continued in most persons but if you are no longer menopausal then you may need to consider discontinuation.

I hope this helps
