What Causes Insomnia, Irritation And Lack Of Libido Post Menopause?

I am 56 years old post menopausal women experiencing symptoms such as insomnia, irritability, vagina atrophy, no sex drive, weight gain around my mid section, low energy and memory loss. I plan to start bio identical hormone replacement therapy and I am going to draw my first blood test. What is the difference between 17-beta-estradiol patch and bio identical HRT? I do not want to spend a lot of $$$ on a treatment HRT plan if all I need is a 17-beta-estradiol patch. Please help. my email: is YYYY@YYYY

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I believe it is better to use 17 beta estradiol therapy. I can advice you also to contact a gynecologist before taking any treatment.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
