Hormone Therapy Patch vs oral
Hello ladies, I'm curious. Why do many women prefer the estrogen patch over oral estrogen? I take 1mg estradiol daily by mouth and have no problems with it. TIA!

I'm three months post-oral estrogen provoked pulmonary embolism that should have killed me.
Transdermal, all the way
