What are the dangers of stopping estrogen treatment cold turkey?

Stopping estrogen treatment abruptly can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and fatigue. It may also increase the risk of bone density loss and exacerbate symptoms of menopause if the treatment was being used for hormone replacement therapy. Additionally, sudden cessation can disrupt hormonal balance, potentially leading to other health complications. Consulting a healthcare provider for a gradual tapering plan is generally recommended.
