May 2025 PEP Talk: Women and Blood Clots

May 2025 PEP Talk: Women and Blood Clots

May 13, 2025

In recognition of Women’s Health Month, we’re unpacking the blood clot risks that women face throughout their lives during our next PEP Talk on Tuesday, May 13 at 7 p.m.

Women not only have certain risk factors, they also experience unpleasant side-effects of anticoagulants that may include heavy menstrual bleeding.

Other topics will include contraceptive choices; medical gaslighting of women in healthcare settings; managing mental health after diagnosis; whether hormone replacement therapy is safe for individuals with a history of blood clots, and much more.

In today’s environment, where women’s health rights are under increased scrutiny, it’s crucial that we all understand how to protect ourselves and make empowered decisions about our health.
