Hot flashes: phenomenology, quality of life, and search for treatment options
Open accessAbstract
Menopausal hot flashes are a significant problem for women. Hot flashes can impact on daily functioning, particularly when they disrupt sleep, leading to fatigue and irritability during the day. However, our knowledge about this primary complaint of menopausal women is far from complete. It is known that a hot flash is associated with thermoregulatory, cardiovascular, and endocrine changes. However, much is unknown about the phenomenology of hot flashes, such as the range of variability in the pattern and longitudinal course of hot flashes. Although estrogen plays a role in the etiology of hot flashes, the mechanism by which its withdrawal precipitates hot flashes and its replacement relieves them is not understood. Nor do we know what it is that triggers individual hot flash episodes. We are beginning to learn about factors, such as ambient temperature, that modulate the frequency of severity of hot flashes. And very new data suggest that the ingestion of certain foods may influence hot flashes via estrogenic substances present in the food plants. Although there is much anecdotal information about herbs and other nonconventional remedies, little or no research had been done to assess the efficacy or safety of these methods for the treatment of hot flashes. An immediate focus on some of the most promising of these therapies could broaden the available treatment options and should provide new insights into the mechanism underlying hot flashes.

Hot flushes do not occur in situations where estrogen is chronically absent from birth, unless exogenous estrogens are administered and then subsequently withdrawn.
“Hot flushes do not occur in situations where estrogen is chronically absent from birth, unless exogenous estrogens are administered and then subsequently withdrawn (Kronenberg, 1994).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
