Should I take Estrogen after having a full hysterectomy?

I have had abdominal pain since my daughter was born(04/01) and am finally getting a full hysterectomy done. I am 31 years old and have read where it is recommended for women to take estrogen if they have a hysterectomy before there 50's. When i asked my doctor about this and told him what i had researched he seemed annoyed and told me that most doctors don't recommend taking them anymore and that there are other better drugs out there to help out with some of the side effects of having a hysterectomy. I have been on Lupron for 6 months and have had the hot flashes and mood swings and can deal with those but am having issues with major hair thinning and my exzema acting up alot more and in new places as well and I really need to find a way to get these issues under control.I have a history of cancer in my family and have also reseached and found that taking it will increase my risk as well. What should I do?
