Need hormones: Most of the time discussions about ill effects of hormonal replacement therapy are on peri menopausal & menopausal woman , not for your age group of 30 . At your age needed to keep integrity of vaginal epithelium, loss of libido , atrophy of genitals , fatigue weakness , mood swings and on , so you need them , risks out weigh the good benefits. Speak to your m.D you need them.

Greater without: The hrt will decrease your risk for stroke, heart attack, colon cancer, osteoporosis, and alzheimer's disease. In addition the estrogen will minimize hot flushes, mood swings, insomnia, vaginal dryness, and painful intercourse.
