Benefits

The patch are FDA-approved treatments that are structurally identical to the estrogen produced by your body, and are therefore referred to as a bioidentical hormone therapy. When your own estrogen declines during menopause, treatment with estradiol provides  effective relief for the vasomotor symptoms of menopause, including hot flushes and night sweats.

Safety Information

The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) Study reported increased risks of myocardial infarction, certain types of blood clots (deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolus),endometrial cancer, and invasive breast cancer during 5 years of treatment with conjugated equine estrogens (CE 0.625 mg) combined with medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA 2.5 mg) relative to placebo. Other doses of conjugated estrogens with medroxyprogesterone, and other combinations of estrogens (including estradiol) and progestins were not studied in the WHI and, in the absence of comparable data, these risks should be assumed to be similar for all estrogens and estrogen-progestin combinations.  

If you’re considering the estradiol patch or the estradiol pill, be sure to talk to your Evernow medical provider about possible contraindications, especially if you have a history of an estrogen-sensitive cancer, liver disease, undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, coronary heart disease, a history of blood clots, or stroke.
