Cooling the Flush: Non-Hormonal Menopause Relief Stories

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe treating menopausal hot flushes and night sweats without hormone therapy. Writers describe the state they were in before anything helped: the flushes counted in double figures daily, the sheets changed at four in the morning, the meetings walked out of, the sleep debt that reshaped a personality. There is starting something new — the neurokinin-3 receptor antagonist fezolinetant and the liver monitoring that comes with it, low-dose SSRIs and SNRIs, gabapentin, oxybutynin, clonidine — and the trial and error between them. Writers describe the ordinary weeks and the first cooler nights with real precision, and report partial responses honestly. Later chapters cover the other roads: cognitive behavioural therapy for menopause, hypnotherapy, cooling strategies, weight and alcohol, clinicians' perspectives, and the women for whom none of it worked.

Who it's for

For anyone who cannot or does not want to take HRT, women after breast cancer, and clinicians looking for what patients say actually helped.
