Hormone Replacement starting at 75yrs old

My cardiologist actually wants me back on bioidentical hormones as I completely lack estrogen, testosterone. I’m 71 and he has done extensive research on hormone replacement for older women and feels strongly that I will benefit in many ways with bone strength, heart health, vaginal health, hair, skin, nails, fatigue and mood swings. I inject Tymlos daily for severe osteoporosis and have had marked improvement in my bone density but he feels that it is important to not be hormone depleted as I am. He can determine the dosage amount which he says will start with a lower dose of each of the hormones that I need. I’m very active but don’t always feel great. I need a boost of something and am praying these hormones will improve my quality of life.

Ok. So, do I need a cardiologist? Wonder if my endocrinologist will consider this. I don’t I have a heart issue. I really want to pursue it though. Maybe a progressive minded urologist?

@dooshie , Please keep us posted on your experiences with HRT. At 71, I am considering asking my GP to refer me to someone experienced with HRT. Hoping I can find something I can tolerate as I am very sensitive to meds. I walk about 100 miles outside a month but have all the menopause woes such as vaginal atrophy, thinning hair, insomnia and the list goes on….
