New Interventions for Menopausal Symptoms (U01): Women going through the menopause transition may experience a variety of symptoms, ranging from vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes and night sweats) to sleep disturbance, mood disorders, loss of sexual desire, and vaginal dryness. As many as two-thirds of all women report vasomotor symptoms, and over 85% report at least one menopausal symptom as they transition through menopause. For the 25% of women whose symptoms are severe, the resulting discomfort greatly diminishes their quality of life. For many decades, menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) using estrogen (or, in a woman with a uterus, a combination of estrogen and a progestin) has been the therapy of choice for relieving menopause-related symptoms. But recently, several large clinical trials, and in particular, the Women s Health Initiative, have found an increased risk of serious health problems, such as blood clots, stroke, heart disease, breast cancer and cognitive impairment, in women using estrogen-progestin regimens. Not surprisingly, women are reluctant to use MHT for menopausal symptoms and in search of alternative strategies to improve their quality of life.
