Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After menopause or a total hysterectomy, the ovaries stop producing estrogen resulting in symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness and mood swings. Therefore, estrogen replacement therapy may be prescribed to manage these symptoms. Progesterone may also be prescribed along with estrogen in women with a uterus to prevent the risk of uterine cancer. LH and FSH are typically not prescribed as hormone replacement therapy after menopause or a total hysterectomy.
