Some differences in postmenopausal women with hot flushes and without them
The absence of hot flushes in postmenopausal women is not a sign of well being. These women have unfavorable lipid's profile and lower BMD than women who have or had hot flushes in the past. Their metabolic parameters are like those with severe and frequently hot flushes. Thus, they need active physician's attention. The revealed differences in hormonal profile mean that not only low levels or decrease of E2 but alteration of adrenal and thyroid function play some role in the pathogenesis of hot flushes.
