I've been struggling with hot flashes and vaginal dryness since menopause started, and my doctor recommended Estradiol 0.5mg/day Top Gel Pk. I'm a bit nervous about the potential side effects, especially the rare but serious ones. Has anyone else used this gel? How did it work for you? Were the side effects manageable? Any tips or warnings would be greatly appreciated! Also, does anyone know if this can help with bone thinning (osteoporosis)?
