10. Hormone Replacement Therapy
The menopause is the period in a woman’s life that signals the end of their reproductive days. This sometimes comes with some very unwelcome symptoms, but hormone replacement therapy can help to lessen the impact of these symptoms. The treatment can also help to prolong a woman’s sexually active days.
Hormone replacement therapy involves estrogen supplements that help to encourage the patient’s sexual organs to carry on as normal. It can be very effective in some women, and it can also come with some other unwanted side-effects. One of which is the increased chances of clotting and, therefore, pulmonary embolisms.
