Hello ma'am.
Yes your problem could be related to the HRT, or someother underlying condition.
It would be protocol to discontinue HRT in the presence of any complications, but let us leave this to the good judgement of your prescribing doctor.
I would also recommend a blood test to check on your hormone levels and a transvaginal ultrasound scan.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
