Who should use estrogen supplements?
According to Dr. Lee, if a 3-month trial of Natural Progesterone, proper diet and magnesium/B6 supplements do not relieve hot flashes or vaginal dryness, only then does he suggest a low-dose natural estrogen. However, he does NOT recommended it for women with a history of breast or uterine cancer, obesity, diabetes, clotting, or vascular disorders. It is his opinion that you should use the lowest dose possible to aleviate hot flashes. Products containing natural estrogen or estriol are recommended for vaginal dryness twice a week for three weeks each month.
