A member asked:

Should hrt elimate all menopause symptoms? or is it normal to still have some hot flashes after 6 weeks on it?

Dr. Quang Nguyen answered

Specializes in Endocrinology

Unlikely: No pills can replace the natural rhythm of the body. While hrt can raise your level back to normal, it cannot "adjust" quickly so it's possible some symptoms can remain.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
