Will estrogen supplements increase my risk of cancer?

Well, for my situation, he said the local cream estradiol was quite safe, as it doesn’t get into your full system. Not sure what that means. He said that taking oral estrogen was different and that risks/benefits would need to be considered. Age is a factor. I didn’t have any symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, etc. Still, I really wish that one of my multiple female doctors (some gynecologist s) had explained menopause and hormone treatments. I’m really surprised this whole world is so silent and uninformed! Why?

I’d be very proactive in searching for guidance on this. I’m starting with my Endocrinologist to see what she says. It may be too late for me, but local estradiol has helped me so much.

Have you watched top female urologists videos address topics like vaginal atrophy? They are very enlightening. My question is does HRT help avoid bladder issues? That seems to be a huge problem for many women that I know and read about.
