The analysis of the work showed that the risk of multiple take only those hormone pills, as in this case, estrogen through the digestive system and the liver is taken up, and is a blood coagulation factors is increased. The researchers added that more research is needed to confirm the results. Also, as we reported earlier, not after an international group of hormone therapy for menopause is a risk and the risk of side effects to a minimum.
