Hi All
I'm new to this forum, so hello!
I'm actually asking for a bit of advice for my mum...she is 48 years old and has been going through the menopause for 4 years now (confirmed with doctor.) She has been having hot flushes, night sweats, trouble sleeping and heavy periods which are very irregular for quite some time now and its really getting her down, which I hate to see
![Sad :(](https://www.menopausematters.co.uk/forum/Smileys/extended/sad.gif)
She is unable to take HRT due to family history with blood clots, but is really emotional all the time I hate seeing her so affected by the menopause.
I didnt know if there was any other treatment available to help alleviate her symptoms? Someone has told me that if she gets the coil fitted it could help her period become lighter and more regular or even stop it completely. Does any one else use this as a method of coping if they cannot take HRT or are there any other suggestions or advice?
Grateful for any advice and thanks in advance!
Kayleigh
