Could taking Estroven cause HS flares since it stopped your period when you were managing well before?
Hormonal changes can definitely affect HS symptoms. Many people experience flares related to hormone fluctuations during their menstrual cycle, with symptoms often worsening the week before a period when estrogen and progesterone levels drop.
Since Estroven has stopped your period and you're now experiencing more flares, it's possible the hormonal shift is triggering your symptoms. The relationship between hormones and HS isn't fully understood, but changes in estrogen and progesterone levels can influence flare patterns.
Some people find their HS improves with certain hormonal changes, while others experience worsening symptoms. A myHSteam member shared, "I had early menopause and was on hormone replacement therapy. I can't say it made a big difference in my HS flares."
It's important to talk with your doctor about this change. They can help determine if Estroven might be contributing to your flares and discuss whether adjusting your treatment approach makes sense for managing both your HS and other symptoms.
