Ever since the 2004 Women's Health Initiative (WHI) report, women have been cautious about the use of estrogen therapy due to the warnings of an increased risk of cancer and other serious health problems detailed in the WHI report. Most women endure years of uncomfortable symptoms of perimenopause and menopause without relief. When taken at the right time, and in the right way, estrogen therapy can reduce vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes) due to menopause.
