I am on Estroven and it seems to be helping. Is it good to keep taking it? Also, there is a small patch on the side of my head that seems to be losing hair.

Most doctors only advise using HRT for a few years now but it is best to discuss this with your own doctor, they should be able to let you know how long they are willing to let you stay on it.

Hair loss is quite common in the menopause and you may find a good hair supplement helps, such as Hair Complex.
