Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The profuse sweating in your case might be due to post menupausal symptoms which often causes hot flashes and profuse sweating. You might need to add progesterone along with estrogen to control these postmenupause symptoms.
