androgyn-included estrogen therapy

Iam a 38 year old who has had a complete hysterectomy. The surgery was necessary to relieve unbearable and uncontrollable menstrual pain, and also to remove a previously unsuspected (and benign) dermoid terratoma on one ovary. I am 2 months post surgical, and have resumed the largest part of my activities - well ahead of schedule - and for the most part am doing wonderfully.

My question - I have one particularly irritating menopausal symptom - HOT FLASHES. I am currently taking estradiol 1mg on a schedule of one pill one day, two the next, one the next. This was my doctor's solution to the problem.

I recently read in a Copenhagen journal article that inclusion of androgyn in the estrogen therapy routine greatly reduces the flash syndrome, as well as decreasing the possibility of bone density loss.

I should also mention that I smoke a pack a day, and am chronically obese.

Opinions??
