New Menopause Guidance: Hot Flash Treatments, Hormone Therapy
The American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG) has updated its guidance on managing menopause symptoms, emphasizing the importance of hormone therapies for treating hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep changes. Doctors stress that these symptoms should be treated, and women should discuss their concerns with healthcare providers. Hormone therapy is recommended as the first line of treatment for moderate to severe symptoms, with various non-hormonal options also available. The FDA has taken steps to ensure an adequate supply of hormone therapies following the removal of federal safety warnings.5 sourcesSee all sources
