Yes, she can take hormone replacement after consulting a gynaecologist. HRT should be taken for the shortest period of time and the smallest dose possible (ideally less than 5 yrs). It helps to tide over menopausal symptoms like hot flushes, night sweats and mood swings. There is a slightly increased risk of breast cancer and blood clot (DVT) formation in women on HRT, so it should not be taken by women at high risk of these diseases.
