In spite of all these symptoms, estrogen decline is not totally a bad thing. You don’t want to be in reproductive mode for your entire life, because you’re meant to serve other purposes as you grow older. But that doesn’t mean you have to suffer the side effects that occur during the process.

Now, if you’ve spent any time at all with your nose in a newspaper or fingers on a touch screen, then you know that estrogen therapy is a highly controversial health issue. Some docs say it’s a true miracle treatment, while others say they wouldn’t touch estrogen with a ten-foot rubber glove. Estrogen therapy is not one extreme (it’s surely going to kill you) or the other (it’s 100 percent without risks). Your decision should be based on what shade of gray you’re comfortable with. Deal? Good. Then let’s start from the beginning and explain a little bit about how estrogen works and why there’s been such a deep crevasse between the two sides of the issue.
