I am 49 years old and have 7-8 fibroids. to treat my menopause symptoms (hot flashes) my doctor wants to use estrogen treatment. is it safe?

Risks, benefits: Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT), while effective for treatment of hot flashes, carries risks, as do many medications. Your doctor can help you weigh the benefits and risks of estrogen so that you can make an informed decision about taking ERT.
