Exercise, nutrition, and the coagulation effects of estrogen replacement on cardiovascular health.
Estrogen therapy has been used safely by millions of women. Yet, there will be a small minority of women in whom a venous or arterial thrombus will develop. Given the other benefits of estrogen replacement therapy, this risk is extremely small and can be reduced to a minuscule level by encouraging postmenopausal women to eat judiciously and well and to engage in a regular and meaningful exercise program.
