Margo, age 50, is perimenopausal. She tells
you she is taking dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)

(HRT). When she asks for your opinion, you tell
her that

therapy (HRT) is not recommended because
it is like "double dosing."

rate of bone loss is directly related to a decrease in
a woman's estrogen

to bright red vaginal bleeding. ✔️Right Answer D
A return to bright red vaginal bleeding is a sign of

soft uterine fundus would result in increased vaginal
bleeding.
