A member asked:

56, just had hysterectomy and oorph for stage 1 uterine cancer found in d&c. surgery pathology clean. hot flashes are horrific. is estrogen an option?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, possible option: Hormone replacement is sometimes used by women who have had early endometrial cancer. Best to speak with your gynecologist and/or oncologist re: his or her opinion. Also consider non-hormonal options for treating hot flashes.
