A 35-year-old member asked:

Is it possible to have short term memory loss that recovers with estrogen?

Dr. Cornelia Franzanswered

Specializes in Pediatrics

YES: Menopause symptoms often include short term memory loss and many women report that memory improves with estrogen replacement . It is something to discuss in detail with your physician as hormone replacement has many negative side effects and for many it is better to not use hormone replacement therapy.
