Disturbances in registering an impression, in the retention of an acquired impression, or in the recall of an impression. Memory impairments are associated with DEMENTIA; CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; ENCEPHALITIS; ALCOHOLISM (see also ALCOHOL AMNESTIC DISORDER); SCHIZOPHRENIA; and other conditions.
Testosterone
A potent androgenic steroid and major product secreted by the LEYDIG CELLS of the TESTIS. Its production is stimulated by LUTEINIZING HORMONE from the PITUITARY GLAND. In turn, testosterone exerts feedback control of the pituitary LH and FSH secretion. Depending on the tissues, testosterone can be further converted to DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE or ESTRADIOL.
Photosynthetic Reaction Center Complex Proteins

The time from the onset of a stimulus until a response is observed.
Sensory Thresholds
The minimum amount of stimulus energy necessary to elicit a sensory response.
Statistics, Nonparametric
A class of statistical methods applicable to a large set of probability distributions used to test for correlation, location, independence, etc. In most nonparametric statistical tests, the original scores or observations are replaced by another variable containing less information. An important class of nonparametric tests employs the ordinal properties of the data. Another class of tests uses information about whether an observation is above or below some fixed value such as the median, and a third class is based on the frequency of the occurrence of runs in the data. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed, p1284; Corsini, Concise Encyclopedia of Psychology, 1987, p764-5)

Odds Ratio
The ratio of two odds. The exposure-odds ratio for case control data is the ratio of the odds in favor of exposure among cases to the odds in favor of exposure among noncases. The disease-odds ratio for a cohort or cross section is the ratio of the odds in favor of disease among the exposed to the odds in favor of disease among the unexposed. The prevalence-odds ratio refers to an odds ratio derived cross-sectionally from studies of prevalent cases.
Life Style
Typical way of life or manner of living characteristic of an individual or group. (From APA, Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms, 8th ed)
Serotonin
A biochemical messenger and regulator, synthesized from the essential amino acid L-TRYPTOPHAN. In humans it is found primarily in the central nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, and blood platelets. Serotonin mediates several important physiological functions including neurotransmission, gastrointestinal motility, hemostasis, and cardiovascular integrity. Multiple receptor families (RECEPTORS, SEROTONIN) explain the broad physiological actions and distribution of this biochemical mediator.

Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide
Calcitonin gene-related peptide. A 37-amino acid peptide derived from the calcitonin gene. It occurs as a result of alternative processing of mRNA from the calcitonin gene. The neuropeptide is widely distributed in neural tissue of the brain, gut, perivascular nerves, and other tissue. The peptide produces multiple biological effects and has both circulatory and neurotransmitter modes of action. In particular, it is a potent endogenous vasodilator.
Chemotherapy, Adjuvant
Drug therapy given to augment or stimulate some other form of treatment such as surgery or radiation therapy. Adjuvant chemotherapy is commonly used in the therapy of cancer and can be administered before or after the primary treatment.
Membrane Potentials
The voltage differences across a membrane. For cellular membranes they are computed by subtracting the voltage measured outside the membrane from the voltage measured inside the membrane. They result from differences of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride, and other ions across cells' or ORGANELLES membranes. For excitable cells, the resting membrane potentials range between -30 and -100 millivolts. Physical, chemical, or electrical stimuli can make a membrane potential more negative (hyperpolarization), or less negative (depolarization).

Local tolerance, pharmacokinetics, and dynamics of ganirelix (Orgalutran) administration by Medi-Jector compared to conventional needle injections. (1/324)

The feasibility of administering a relatively high dose of the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist ganirelix by means of a needle-free injection device, which could be useful in the long-term treatment of sex-steroid-dependent disorders, was evaluated in a randomized, crossover study in 16 healthy females. Local tolerance and pharmacokinetics of ganirelix administered by MediJector versus conventional needle injections were compared. Additionally, the pharmacodynamic effect was evaluated. Two milligrams of ganirelix was administered s.c. once daily for 7 days by Medi-Jector or conventional needle in a randomized sequence, without a washout period. No apparent differences in local tolerance were observed. Most injections (87.5%) gave either no or only a mild reaction. Of the moderate reactions, swelling and redness were reported most frequently (overall 4.9 and 8.5% per injection, respectively). Administration by Medi-Jector was bioequivalent to conventional needle injection with respect to the peak concentration and area under the curve. A profound suppression of luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone was observed. Serum oestradiol and progesterone concentrations were relatively low prior to treatment and remained low during the entire study period. In conclusion, administration of a relatively high dose of ganirelix by Medi-Jector might be useful for long-term treatment of sex-steroid dependent disorders.  (+info)

A pilot trial assessing the efficacy of paroxetine hydrochloride (Paxil) in controlling hot flashes in breast cancer survivors. (2/324)

BACKGROUND: Many breast cancer survivors suffer debilitating hot flashes. Estrogen, the drug of choice in perimenopausal women, is generally not recommenced to breast cancer survivors. Nonhormonal treatments are mostly disappointing. Anecdotal reports in our institution suggested that the selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitor, paroxetine hydrochloride, might be efficacious in alleviating hot flashes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirty women with prior breast cancer who were suffering at least two hot flashes a day entered a single institution pilot trial to evaluate paroxetine's efficacy in reducing the frequency and severity of hot flashes. After completing daily diaries for one week on no therapy, the women received open-label paroxetine, 10 mg daily for one week, followed by four weeks of paroxetine, 20 mg daily. The women completed hot-flash daily diaries throughout the study period, and a health-related symptom-assessment questionnaire and a quality-of-life rating scale in the first and sixth week of the study. RESULTS: Twenty-seven women completed the six-week study period. The mean reduction of hot flash frequency was 67% (95% confidence interval (95% CI): 56%-79%). The mean reduction in hot flash severity score was 75% (95% CI: 66%-85%). There was a statistically significant improvement in depression, sleep, anxiety, and quality of life scores. Furthermore, 25 (83%) of the study participants chose to continue paroxetine therapy at the end of study. The most common adverse effect was somnolence, resulting in drug discontinuation in two women, and dose reduction in two women. One woman discontinued drug due to anxiety. CONCLUSIONS: Paroxetine hydrochloride is a promising new treatment for hot flashes in breast cancer survivors, and warrants further evaluation in a double-blind randomized placebo-controlled trial.  (+info)

Evaluation of soy phytoestrogens for the treatment of hot flashes in breast cancer survivors: A North Central Cancer Treatment Group Trial. (3/324)

PURPOSE: Hot flashes represent a significant clinical problem for some breast cancer survivors. Safe, effective treatment is needed for this prominent clinical problem. Although it has been shown that estrogen or progesterone replacement therapy can alleviate this problem, there are continued safety concerns regarding the use of hormonal therapies in these women. Based on anecdotal information, we hypothesized that soy-derived phytoestrogens, weak estrogen-like substances in the soybean that demonstrate estrogen agonist and/or antagonist effects when they bind to estrogen receptors, could alleviate hot flashes. This current trial was designed to investigate this hypothesis. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This double-blind clinical trial involved breast cancer survivors with substantial hot flashes. After randomization, patients underwent a 1-week baseline period with no therapy. This was followed by 4 weeks of either soy tablets or placebo. The patients then crossed over to the opposite arm in a double-blind manner for the last 4 weeks. Patients completed a daily questionnaire documenting hot flash frequency, intensity, and perceived side effects. RESULTS: Of the 177 women who were randomized and started the study substance, 155 (88%) provided useable data over the first 5 weeks; 149 provided usable data over the entire 9 weeks. There was no suggestion that the soy product was more effective in reducing hot flashes than the placebo. At study completion, patients preferred the soy product 33% of the time, the placebo 37% of the time, and neither substance 31% of the time. No toxicity was observed. CONCLUSION: The soy product did not alleviate hot flashes in breast cancer survivors.  (+info)

Relation of demographic and lifestyle factors to symptoms in a multi-racial/ethnic population of women 40-55 years of age. (4/324)

A community-based survey was conducted during 1995-1997 of factors related to menopausal and other symptoms in a multi-racial/ethnic sample of 16,065 women aged 40-55 years. Each of seven sites comprising the Study of Women's Health across the Nation (SWAN) surveyed one of four minority populations and a Caucasian population. The largest adjusted prevalence odds ratios for all symptoms, particularly hot flashes or night sweats (odds ratios = 2.06-4.32), were for women who were peri- or postmenopausal. Most symptoms were reported least frequently by Japanese and Chinese (odds ratios = 0.47-0.67 compared with Caucasian) women. African-American women reported vasomotor symptoms and vaginal dryness more (odds ratios = 1.17-1.63) but urine leakage and difficulty sleeping less (odds ratios = 0.64-0.72) than Caucasians. Hispanic women reported urine leakage, vaginal dryness, heart pounding, and forgetfulness more (odds ratios = 1.22-1.85). Hot flashes or night sweats, urine leakage, and stiffness or soreness were associated with a high body mass index (odds ratios = 1.15-2.18 for women with a body mass index > or =27 vs. 19-26.9 kg/m2). Most symptoms were reported most frequently among women who had difficulty paying for basics (odds ratios = 1.15-2.05), who smoked (odds ratios = 1.21-1.78), and who rated themselves less physically active than other women their age (odds ratios = 1.24-2.33). These results suggest that lifestyle, menstrual status, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status affect symptoms in this age group.  (+info)

Soy product intake and hot flashes in Japanese women: results from a community-based prospective study. (5/324)

The association between soy product intake and the occurrence of hot flashes was examined in a cohort of 1,106 female residents of Takayama, Gifu, JAPAN: The women were aged 35-54 years and premenopausal at their entry into the study in 1992. Diet, including intake of soy products and isoflavones, was assessed by means of a validated semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire at study entry. A follow-up mail questionnaire asking about experiences of hot flashes was sent in 1998. During the 6 years of the study period, 101 women had new moderate or severe hot flashes according to the Kupperman test of menopausal distress. After data were controlled for age, total energy intake, and menopausal status, hot flashes were significantly inversely associated with consumption of soy products in terms of both total amount (highest tertile of soy product intake (g/day) vs. lowest: hazard ratio = 0.47; 95% confidence interval: 0.28, 0.79; p for trend = 0.005) and isoflavone intake (highest tertile of isoflavone intake (mg/day) vs. lowest: hazard ratio = 0.42; 95% confidence interval: 0.25, 0.72; p for trend = 0.002). These data suggest that consumption of soy products has a protective effect against hot flashes.  (+info)

Cognitive function in postmenopausal women treated with raloxifene. (6/324)

BACKGROUND: In postmenopausal women, estrogen may have a beneficial effect on cognition or reduce the risk of decline in cognitive function. Whether raloxifene, a selective estrogen-receptor modulator, might have similar actions is not known. METHODS: As part of the Multiple Outcomes of Raloxifene Evaluation trial, we studied 7478 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis (mean age, 66 years), who were enrolled at 178 sites in 25 countries. The women were randomly assigned to receive raloxifene (60 mg or 120 mg) or placebo daily for three years. We compared the mean scores of the groups on six tests of cognitive function, which were administered at base line and at six months and one, two, and three years. Women were classified as having a decline in cognitive function if the change in their scores at three years was in the worst 10 percent. RESULTS: The mean cognitive scores in the three groups of women were similar at base line. The scores improved slightly in all three groups during the three-year study period, with no significant differences among the groups. The risk of decline in the cognitive function, as measured by four of the six tests, did not differ significantly between the two raloxifene groups combined and the placebo group, but there was a trend toward less decline in the combined raloxifene group on the two tests of verbal memory (relative risk, 0.77) and attention, (relative risk, 0.87). Newly reported or worsening hot flashes did not negatively influence test scores or the effect of treatment on test performance. CONCLUSIONS: Raloxifene treatment for three years does not affect overall cognitive scores in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis.  (+info)

Randomized trial of black cohosh for the treatment of hot flashes among women with a history of breast cancer. (7/324)

PURPOSE: Most breast cancer survivors experience hot flashes; many use complementary or alternative remedies for these symptoms. We undertook a randomized clinical trial of black cohosh, a widely used herbal remedy for menopausal symptoms, among breast cancer patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients diagnosed with breast cancer who had completed their primary treatment were randomly assigned to black cohosh or placebo, stratified on tamoxifen use. At enrollment, patients completed a questionnaire about demographic factors and menopausal symptoms. Before starting to take the pills and at 30 and 60 days, they completed a 4-day hot flash diary. At the final visit, they completed another menopausal symptom questionnaire. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels were measured in a subset of patients at the first and final visits. RESULTS: Of 85 patients (59 on tamoxifen, 26 not on tamoxifen) enrolled in the study, 42 were assigned to treatment and 43 were assigned to placebo; 69 completed all three hot flash diaries. Both treatment and placebo groups reported declines in number and intensity of hot flashes; the differences between the groups were not statistically significant. Both groups also reported improvements in menopausal symptoms that were, for the most part, not significantly different. Changes in blood levels of FSH and LH also did not differ in the two groups. CONCLUSION: Black cohosh was not significantly more efficacious than placebo against most menopausal symptoms, including number and intensity of hot flashes. Our study illustrates the feasibility and value of standard clinical trial methodology in assessing the efficacy and safety of herbal agents.  (+info)

Selective estrogen receptor modulation and reduction in risk of breast cancer, osteoporosis, and coronary heart disease. (8/324)

The recognition of selective estrogen receptor modulation in the laboratory has resulted in the development of two selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), tamoxifen and raloxifene, for clinical application in healthy women. SERMs are antiestrogenic in the breast but estrogen-like in the bones and reduce circulating cholesterol levels. SERMs also have different degrees of estrogenicity in the uterus. Tamoxifen is used specifically to reduce the incidence of breast cancer in premenopausal and postmenopausal women at risk for the disease. In contrast, raloxifene is used specifically to reduce the risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at high risk for osteoporosis. The study of tamoxifen and raloxifene (STAR) trial is currently comparing the ability of these SERMs to reduce breast cancer incidence in high-risk postmenopausal women. There is intense interest in understanding the molecular mechanism(s) of action of SERMs at target sites in a woman's body. An understanding of the targeted actions of this novel drug group will potentially result in the introduction of new multifunctional medicines with applications as preventive agents or treatments of breast cancer and endometrial cancer, coronary heart disease, and osteoporosis.  (+info)

The Kaiser Permanente Division of Research in Oakland CA was one of four centers to participate in the eight-week randomized, double-blind trial that enrolled 205 women between July 2009 and June 2010. Hormonal agents have been the predominant therapy for menopausal hot flashes, but their use decreased substantially following the shifts in risk-benefit ratios that were identified in the Womens Health Initiative Estrogen plus Progestin randomized controlled trial. However, no other treatments have U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for menopausal hot flashes, and the efficacy of alternative pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic agents is inconclusive, according to the study authors. Selective serotonin and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs and SNRIs) have been investigated previously for hot flash treatment with mixed results. In two pilot investigations, the SSRI escitalopram reduced hot flashes with minimal toxicities but conclusions were limited by the small samples ...

Comparing Therapies for Managing Hot Flashes in Women with Breast Cancer - The ASCO PostComparing Therapies for Managing Hot Flashes in Women with Breast Cancer - The ASCO Post
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, two often-prescribed treatments recommended in clinical guidelines for the management of hot flashes were found to be effective in managing hot flashes in patients with breast cancer. Patient-reported hot flash scores showed that venlafaxine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, induced a more immediate reduction of hot flashes, compared to clonidine, a centrally acting alpha-adrenergic agonist. At the end of the 12-week study, however, hot flash scores were lower in the women taking clonidine. The results were published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.. A total of 102 women were enrolled from three hospitals in the Netherlands and randomly assigned to daily venlafaxine, clonidine, or placebo. Patients were instructed to keep a diary, recording the frequency and severity of hot flashes every day for the 2 weeks before administration of the study medications and the 12 weeks of the study treatment period. Patients were also asked to record ...

Menopause: A Natural Progression. Menopause is part of the natural progression of a womans life. But for up to 8 out of 10 women, this time of transition-which can last anywhere from 2 to 10 years-can be fraught with an array of climacteric symptoms that can negatively affect their quality of life. Most bothersome of these complaints are hot flashes and night sweats, two vasomotor symptoms that can occur any time of the day. These symptoms can leave a woman feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed and cause her to awaken frequently at night, leading to exhaustion, mental fatigue, and depression. During the early stages of menopause, called perimenopause, these symptoms can be especially frequent and intense; some perimenopausal women experience 10 or more moderate to severe hot flashes in a single day..

Healthy Support with Soy - Red Hot MamasHealthy Support with Soy - Red Hot Mamas
Published: May 26, 2010. In recent years, many women have chosen to avoid prescription medications all together to treat their hot flashes. In general, they work for many women but none work for all. Among the most commonly used and most studied OTC treatments for hot flashes is soy.. Soy is not only an excellent food high in protein, and rich in calcium and many important vitamins, but supplements of a major ingredient in soy, called isoflavones, have been well studied for reducing hot flashes. Usually dosages of 50 mg/day can be helpful. Women who take soy can expect a reduction in hot flash frequency and intensity of between 35 to 50% over a two to four week period. It may not be perfect, but can be enough to allow you to sleep the night. Not every study shows a strong benefit and If you have just come off estrogen, soy or no other supplement is going to be as effective.. While soy is not a replacement for prescription medication, fourteen clinical trials have shown that soy can help you ...

to the editor: In the article Diagnosing Night Sweats,1 the authors overlooked the most prevalent and easy-to-diagnose type of night sweats: those occurring in women during perimenopause. Persons most likely to ask their family physician about night sweats are women in their late 30s to early 60s who are in the menopausal transition or the early years of menopause. This group of women is not even mentioned in the abstract of the article.1 When menopausal women are mentioned on the third page of the article,1 the description is inappropriately brief and somewhat inaccurate. Table 1 of the article1 should be revised to list perimenopausal women instead of ovarian failure. It also should include the selective estrogen receptor modulator drugs, such as tamoxifen and raloxifene.. Although hot flushes and night sweats (vasomotor symptoms) often are considered to be typical of menopause, there are good epidemiologic studies showing that many women experience them before they cease menstruation ...

Night sweats can go on for years and interrupted sleep can lead to a host of other health problems. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), night sweats and hot flashes are due to an imbalance in the yin and yang energies in the body. As we age, everyone, males and females become deficient in both yin and yang. Night time is yin time, and when a person is yin deficient, the symptoms tend to manifest at the height of yin (night) time. Night sweats are considered very debilitating in Chinese medicine because sweat is considered a fluid of the heart. Therefore, sweating at night while sleeping (not exercising) can also be accompanied by heart palpitations, insomnia, fatigue and paleness,. The appropriate treatment is to boost the yin and the yang with foods and Chinese herbs. Asian women experience much fewer hot flashes and night sweats and very few of them are ever put on hormone replacement therapy. Interestingly, only about 10% of Asian women experience noticeable menopausal symptoms, compared ...

Hot flashes: As many as 85% of women experience hot flashes during menopause. Hot flashes are vasomotor symptoms that cause a warm or hot flushed sensation that usually begins in the head and face and then radiates down the neck to other parts of the body. There may be red blotches on the skin. Each hot flash averages 2.7 minutes and is characterized by a sudden increase in heart rate, an increase in peripheral blood flow, which leads to a rise in skin temperature, and a sudden onset of sweating, particularly on the upper body. Hot flashes can occur before, during, or after menopause. Hot flashes can begin when a womans cycles are still regular or, more commonly, as menopause approaches and her cycles become irregular. They usually last for less than a year following the last menstrual period, although some women continue to experience hot flashes five to ten years after menopause. Hot flashes can occur once a month, once a week, or several times an hour. They can happen any time of day or ...

Hot Flashes in Early Menopause May Indicate Elevated CVD Risk --Doctors LoungeHot Flashes in Early Menopause May Indicate Elevated CVD Risk --Doctors Lounge
FRIDAY, April 14, 2017 (HealthDay News) -- Hot flashes may signal increased risk of vascular dysfunction that can lead to cardiovascular disease, according to a study published online April 12 in Menopause.. Researchers tracked the health of 272 nonsmoking women, aged 40 to 60. Among women between 40 and 53 years of age, frequent hot flashes were associated with poorer endothelial cell function.. The investigators found the association to be independent of other cardiovascular disease risk factors. The link appeared to be restricted to the younger women in the study -- there was no such relationship seen among women aged 54 to 60.. Hot flashes are not just a nuisance. They have been linked to cardiovascular, bone, and brain health, JoAnn Pinkerton, M.D., executive director of The North American Menopause Society, said in a society news release. In this study, physiologically measured hot flashes appear linked to cardiovascular changes occurring early during the menopause transition.. Press ...

Many women who suffer from hot flashes are looking for a natural menopause treatment to help them combat the symptoms without having to turn to potentially dangerous treatments like HRT or other medications.. The good news is there are several natural actions you can take to try to keep your hot flashes or night sweats at bay.. Our bodies temperatures are regulated by a part of the brain that keeps us in a thermal neutral zone. That just means that no matter the fluctuations in the temperature around us, our bodies work to stay at the same internal temperature. During perimenopause and menopause, its thought that this regulator is affected by the hormonal and other changes occurring within the body, leading to hot flashes and night sweats.. One natural way to stave off those inconvenient and often embarrassing episodes is by sipping plenty of cold fluids to help keep your bodys temperature down.. While there is rather inconsistent research on whether or not exercise really makes a ...

Menopause is the term that represents the end of menstruation. When a woman has had 12 consecutive months with no menstrual period, and no other biological or physiological cause has been identified, she is officially in menopause.. The timing of natural menopause is variable; it can occur as early as in a womans 30s (premature menopause) and as late as in her 60s. In the western world, the average age is now 51.. Most women approaching menopause will have hot flashes, a sudden feeling of warmth that spreads over the upper body, often with blushing and some sweating. The severity of hot flashes varies from mild in some women to severe in others. Some women only have occasional hot flashes, which dont really bother them at all, while others report 20 or more hot flashes a day, which are uncomfortable, disruptive and embarrassing.. Although hot flashes are a common bothersome symptom for which women are looking for some kind of relief, it is crucial to understand that menopause encompasses much ...

Vasomotor Symptoms and the Importance of Maintaining a Healthy Body WeightVasomotor Symptoms and the Importance of Maintaining a Healthy Body Weight
While about 80% of peri- and postmenopausal women have vasomotor symptoms (VMS), such as night sweats and hot flashes, it has been observed that higher body mass index (BMI) and body fat are associated with an increased risk of vasomotor symptoms. Thus, it is reasonable to speculate that weight loss may prevent VMS.. In a recent study, researchers analyzed data from 1,546 participants in the Study of Womens Health Across the Nation (SWAN). In this population, they found that women in early menopause who have a higher BMI and waist circumference were more likely to report VMS and to have more frequent VMS. In contrast, for women in late menopause, higher BMI and waist circumference were associated with fewer VMS. Furthermore, they observed that weight loss did not result in a reduction in VMS.. These findings differ from those reported from the dietary intervention trial of the Womens Health Initiative (WHI), where it was observed that in postmenopausal women, VMS were reduced or eliminated ...

The study included 934 female cancer survivors (about 90 percent survived breast cancer) and 155 cancer-free women in Australia who were assessed for hot flashes and other menopause-related symptoms and sexual function.. Seventy-six percent of the cancer survivors reported having hot flashes in the past 24 hours, compared with 54 percent of the cancer-free women. Sixty percent of the cancer survivors said their hot flashes were severe or very severe, compared with 40 percent of the cancer-free women..

Acupuncture Helps Ease Hot FlashesAcupuncture Helps Ease Hot Flashes
A small study found that 12 weeks of acupuncture provided the same relief from hot flashes related to breast cancer treatment as Effexor (chemical name: venlafaxine), an antidepressant medicine.. Hormonal therapy often is used after surgery and other treatments to lower the risk of hormone-receptor-positive, early-stage breast cancer coming back (recurring) in post-menopausal women. Hormonal therapy works by lowering the amount of estrogen in the body or by blocking estrogens effect on cancer cells. Reducing the amount of estrogen or blocking its effects can cause hot flashes during treatment. Besides hot flashes, hormonal therapy also may cause sleeping problems, moodiness, and an overall lower quality of life. Doctors sometimes call hot flashes and related side effects vasomotor symptoms. Naturally-occurring menopause often is accompanied by these same troubling vasomotor symptoms.. Antidepressants such as Effexor are used sometimes to ease severe hot flashes.. In this study, 47 women ...

BACKGROUND: To assess the prevalence of menopausal symptoms among women prescribed hormone therapy (HT) using electronic medical record data from a regional healthcare organization. METHODS: Retrospective data from the Reliant Medical Group from 1/1/2006-12/31/2011 were assessed for 102 randomly-selected patients. Study eligibility criteria included: females aged 45 to 65; prescribed oral or transdermal HT; no history of breast cancer, venous thromboembolism, stroke, gynecological cancer, or hysterectomy; continuously enrolled in the health plan for 1 year before and after the first observed HT prescription. Prevalence of menopause-related symptoms was analyzed descriptively at both the patient and visit levels. RESULTS: Mean age of patients was 54 years. The most common menopausal symptoms were: hot flushes (40%), night sweats (17%), insomnia (16%), vaginal dryness (13%), mood disorders (12%), and weight gain (12%). Among the 102 patients, 163 individual visits listing menopausal symptoms were

Washington D.C. [USA], April 20 : Menopausal or pre- menopausal women, aged 40-65, who experience hot flashes or excessive sweating during sleep, are at increased risk of moderate and severe depression.. The results demonstrate that among a group of women ages 40-65, those with moderate-severe hot flashes were significantly more likely to have moderate-severe depression than women with no or mild vasomotor symptoms.. Roisin Worsley, Robin Bell, Pragya Gartoulla, Penelope Robinson and Susan Davis, Monash University in Melbourne, Australia examined hot flashes, depressive symptoms and use of antidepressant medication to be common in the age range of women. The findings, published in journal of Womens Health, indicated that more than 2,000 pre-menopausal and menopausal women showed moderate-severe vasomotor symptoms - hot flashes or night sweats -an independent and significant risk factor for moderate and severe depression.. The researchers explored the controversial link between hot flashes and ...

Menopause is a phase of life characterized by several physiological and psychological changes that have a major impact on a womans life. These changes are mainly a result of a dip in the levels of the hormones produced by the ovaries. The most common symptoms of menopause include hot flashes, headaches, vaginal dryness, depression, irritability, insomnia and mood swings. This can be a very trying period in a womans life and the use of some herbal remedies can help provide some relief from these symptoms.. Flaxseed. Linseed or flaxseed is a vital source of lignins - compounds that play a major role in the modulation of the female hormone levels. Besides, flaxseeds also contain omega-3 fatty acids that are required for the effective functioning of the reproductive system in women. No wonder then that several studies have found flaxseed beneficial against menopausal symptoms. (Read: Suffering from menopausal hot flashes? Eat flaxseeds). Soy-rich foods.

The beginning stages of menopause often are accompanied by rapid bone loss, hot flashes, vaginal dryness and sleep disturbances among other symptoms. Estrogen therapy with or without progesterone prevents most of these changes. However, as a result of the Womens Health Initiative findings suggesting that the overall risks outweigh the benefits, most menopausal women now decline estrogen therapy, increasingly seeking other alternatives, noted lead researcher Silvina Levis. Soy-derived products have been proposed to provide comparable benefits to estrogen but without the risks.. Levis, who is associated with the Miami Veterans Affairs Healthcare System and Miller School of Medicine, University of Miami, conducted a randomized controlled trial from July 2004 to March 2009 to determine the effectiveness of soy isoflavone tablets in preventing bone loss and other menopausal symptoms. Study participants received a soy isoflavone dose equivalent to approximately two times the highest intake ...
