A member asked:

Expert opinion please: could taking estrogen effect me negatively in the future?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Discuss w/your docto: There are potential risks and benefits to taking any medication. There is disagreement as to the safety of estrogen replacement and variable studies pointing in both directions. You need to discuss your specific indications and potential risks w/your doctor and the two of you decide how to proceed.
