No: The use of hormones in your case is truly replacement because your body naturally would have them until natural menopause (average 51). There are some downsides to not having estrogen at your age like increased risk of osteoporosis and even in some cases heart disease. Know that there are several options as far as hormones to use so ask your doc to look at other choices.

Estradiol for years: It seems that your estrogen regimen or your dosage of estradiol may have to be reviewed and probably increased to alleviate your menopausal symptoms of "sweating and flushing". Most menopause experts believe that in the absence of contraindications, the benefits to you of continuing using estrogens (pills, patches, creams or vaginally) until at least age 52-55 outweigh the risks.
