Hi,
Welcome to healthcare Magic!
Oral estrogen should be avoided at your age because it increases cardiovascular events.
If you have lock vaginal dryness or fungal infection then you may start it with local application of estrogen cream alongwith other medicines in consulting with a local clinician.
I hope the advise would be informative and useful for you.
Take Care!
