A member asked:

Is it harmful to take estrogen supplements considering that i still have menstrual flow?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Estrogen therapy, separate from the birth control pill for premenopausal women, typically is used to reduce such things as menopausal symptoms - hot flashes, etc. Although it generally is given after the menses has permanently stopped-.
