Other Risks of Hormone Replacement Therapy
Physicians usually caution women not to use HRT if they are already at high risk for developing blood clots. Obesity, severe vericose veins, smoking, and a history of blood clots put you in this category. A history of gall bladder disease could also be cause to avoid HRT, as women taking estrogen may have a greater chance of developing gallstones.
