Wild yam cream ...

Hi everyone, I know this is controversial but I was just wondering has anyone tried using wild yam cream after finishing treatment? I am perimenopausal and have lots of symptoms. I declined tamoxifen as my personal benefit was small and overall outcome would be the same regardless of it i took it or not. So I'm not on any hormones but really want to help ease my perimenopausal symptoms.

Yes my DCIS was ER + but progesterone receptor wasn't checked as sample was so small. I only had 3mm of intermediate grade DCIS in total and had clear margins post lumpectomy. Finished radiotherapy too. 15 rounds. I'm not ruling out bioidentical HRT in the future but would prefer to be 'disease free' 5 years before I do but looking for something natural in the mean time. Would love to knowvyour experience with wild yam cream or thoughts. Of course my oncologist knew nothing about it 🙄
