Should I Continue Minivelle Patch After Having Hot Flashes And Night Sweats?

My doctor has put me on .0375 Minivelle patch. The first time I put one on my hot flashes and night sweats got worse for 3 days and I didn't put another one on after that
. I have had a total hysterectomy. I don't know if I should continue to use this or not, I also take evening primrose.

VULVAR N VAGINAL ATROPHY IN MENOPAUSE
HYPOGONADISM OR OVARIAN FAILURE

AND OTHER ESTROGEN DEPLETED STATES.
PLZ SPECIFY WHICH IS THE REASON FROM YOUR DOC THAT U HAVE STARTED MINIVELLE.
EVENING PRIMROSE IS EFFECTIVE IN PMS, MASTALGIA N OSTEOPOROSIS, SO U CAN CONTINUE USING THAT.
LET ME KNOW SOON.
