On hormone replacement therapy since hysterectomy at age 31 for ovarian cancer- now 50. do i need to end hrt for normal menopause age?

Add progesterone: Estrogen continues to be made from the fat cells and adrenal glands so you need to be on natural Progesterone forever to balance the estrogen. It stimulates the p53 gene to protect you from cancers.
