My pcp, who I consider conservative with treatment, said he would prescribe an estrogen patch if I have night sweats (which I do not). I'm 79. I would like it if it has bone and brain benefits but apparently the evidence isn't there and I haven't found a doctor who would do so.

Advocate for yourself. Look up your issues online using readily available AI.
Then back up your findings with legitimate studies from national institutes of health.
Your doctor will help you, but wants you to be an informed and educated patient as well as an active participant and advocate for your health.
