Evidence Report: Non-Pharmacologic Treatments for Vasomotor Symptoms Associated with Menopause
11/01/2016 01:12 PM EDT
Vasomotor symptoms (VMS), which include hot flashes and night sweats, are the most common symptoms reported during the menopausal transition. VMS symptoms are experienced by as many as 80% of women with a mean age of onset of 51 years, and can last more than seven years. VMS can lead to increased healthcare encounters for symptom relief and reductions in quality of life. The degree to which VMS are bothersome is determined not only by how frequently they occur, but also by other factors such as duration, coexisting sleep problems, and the extent to which VMS interferes with daily activities or job-related activities. For some populations of women, VMS exerts an especially strong, negative impact on quality of life, which appears to be the case for women Veterans. Based on the age (>45 years) of the current women Veterans population, half of the approximately 360,000 women Veterans who use VA healthcare are perimenopausal (around menopause) or postmenopausal.
