Everol HRT patches 25

I started HRT in May, and I would say things have improved greatly but I get hot flashes when I go to the sauna and steam and on waking up in the morning these are mild compared to what they were before HRT

does this mean I need to up my HRT dose?

does HRT totally stop all symptoms?

I feel I can cope with this because I feel like if I up my HRT dose I might rock the boat

advise me please

thank you

Sounds like a positive start.
You could up the strength of the patch but I would worry about doing so without introducing progesterone(urrogestone) . if you don’t have a womb it still has benefits. The two work best together imo.

I've been on Evorel patches for approx 12 years following a Hysterectomy. Initially on Evorel 25, gradually increased to Everol75 when hot flushes stopped. I've reduced to Evorel 50 and been on this dose for several years. I've stopped wearing the patches/weaned myself off them several times but the hot flushes always return so I've restarted them. I think I will always need them. I have a friend who is still having hot flushes at 82 years of age.
Discuss with whoever is prescribing them for you. Personally, I don't see the point of using HRT but staying on a low dose with only a reduction in symptoms but I can understand where you are coming from.
