    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive endocrinology and menopausal health.

    Context:

    • Vasomotor symptoms, particularly hot flashes, are a hallmark of menopause, affecting 55-75% of women.
    • The precise etiopathogenesis of menopausal hot flashes remains incompletely understood, with multiple hypotheses proposed.

    Purpose:

    • To review the current understanding of the etiopathogenesis of menopausal vasomotor symptoms.
    • To explore potential contributing factors including hormonal fluctuations, neurotransmitters, and prostaglandins.
    • To discuss therapeutic options for managing hot flashes.

    Summary:

    • Hot flashes during menopause are common, with potential links to fluctuating levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estradiol.
    • Research suggests LH may increase during flushes, while FSH, estradiol (E1, E2) levels might not consistently correlate.
    • Theories involve gonadotropins, catecholamines, indolamines, and prostaglandins acting at the hypothalamic level.
    • Associated symptoms include sweating, palpitations, and lightheadedness.
    • Treatment options include estrogen therapy, progestogens, and veralipride, a non-hormonal agent demonstrating significant efficacy.

    Impact:

    • Provides a comprehensive overview of menopausal hot flash pathophysiology and management.
    • Highlights veralipride as a promising non-hormonal therapeutic alternative.
    • Informs clinical practice regarding the evaluation and treatment of menopausal vasomotor symptoms.
