Does Stopping Estrogen Have Any Withdrawal Effects?
I had hysterectomy at 30 due to endometriosis , have been on estrogen since. I am now 65 and , medicare does not want to pay for it due to my age. My doctor wants me to gradually come off it. I have had no problems talking it all these years and am concerned about stopping it. Will I experience any withdrawals or side effects if I discontinue it?
