yes you do. hormone replacement therapy such as using estrogen for the symptoms of menopause must be done under the supervision of a medical provider. if you're experiencing the symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes (flushes) vaginal dryness and sleeplessness then i'd suggest you speak to your gynecologist or primary care provider can assess whether or not you're a candidate for hormone replacement therapy. keep in mind taking estrogen carries risks such as blood clots and strokes. you and your health care provider need to discuss the pros and cons of hormone replacement therapy in your unique situation. best wishes to you!
