. MHT works by replacing this estrogen, often combined with progesterone, that the body may no longer be producing.
“Estrogen is a hormone and a hormone by definition has multiple effects on the body … And the issue with estrogen is that there is a consistently small, but important, increased risk of blood clots in the legs and the lungs. We call it venous thromboembolism.

She also says each patient has individual risks and circumstances that factor into treatment.
