A member asked:
Estrogen in contraception pills or menopausal hormone therapy have same effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly yes: Pharmacologically yes, although the amount of estrogen in hrt is usually lower than in ocp; therefore symptomatically it might be different. Some hrt also contains different estrogen types, for example conjugated equine estrogens, but the basic effect is still similar.
