Brief Answer:
Explanation is given below....
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear and thanks for your query.
I have read your question carefully and understand your concern.
Hormone replacement therapy is used to relieve effects of menopause(natural or surgical as you) such as:
hot flushes
genito-urinary issue (vaginal atrophy)
night sweats
mood swings
prevent weakening of the bones(osteoporosis)
and other symptoms.
But use of hormone replacement therapy can cause and side effects such as:
breast tenderness
headaches
nausea
indigestion
abdominal (tummy) pain
vaginal bleeding
Hence if you have hot flashes and /or night sweats with vaginal dryness you can contact with a doctor to start hormone replacement therapy.
Meanwhile if you haven't any above symptoms of your low female hormones and you have a lot of bloating ,constipation with severe acid reflux ,use of hormone replacement therapy can aggravate all these symptoms,especially acid reflux.
Hope I was helpful and feel free for further discussion.
Best regards
