Recent evidence shows that even a few years of hormone replacement therapy may increase the risk of two types of ovarian cancer. It may also cause cognitive impairments. To stay healthy, women are advised to exercise regularly, refrain from smoking, consume less caffeine and alcohol, wear loose clothing, and sleep in a cool room that is well ventilated. Some anti-depressants and blood pressure medications may also help with hot flashes.
