Day and Night Hot Flash During Menopause

May 6, 2021 updated by: China Medical University Hospital

The Relationship Between Day and Night Hot Flash During Menopause and Different Traditional Chinese Constitution Types in Women

We use Hot Flash Diaries to record the change of daily hot flush symptoms, The Hot Flash Related Daily Interference Scale to record how much did hot flush effect daily life, the Kupperman menopausal index to evaluate the severity of menopausal symptoms, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to evaluate sleep disorder, wireless temperature monitor to record hot flush and body temperature during sleeping, and classify patients' traditional Chinese constitution by using Physical classification and judgment self-test table. With these evaluations, we can take apart of different syndromes with different symptom of menopause, thus to confirm the specificity and the severity of menopausal hot flush, and give patients correct treatment.

Menopause syndrome or Climacteric syndrome is defined as decreasing function of ovarian follicles during menopause. This situation leads to the decreased concentration of estrogen, and causes a series of physical and psychological symptoms, with main symptoms of hot flush, night sweats, dizziness or headache, limbs soreness, insomnia, anxiety and depression. Approximately 40-60 % of menopausal women have the problem of menopausal symptoms, these symptoms severely affect the life quality of post-menopausal women. We use Hot Flash Diaries to record the change of daily hot flush symptoms, The Hot Flash Related Daily Interference Scale to record how much did hot flush effect daily life, the Kupperman menopausal index to evaluate the severity of menopausal symptoms, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to evaluate sleep disorder, wireless temperature monitor to record hot flush and body temperature during sleeping, and classify patients' traditional Chinese constitution by using Physical classification and judgment self-test table. With these evaluations, we can take apart of different syndromes with different symptom of menopause, thus to confirm the specificity and the severity of menopausal hot flush, and give patients correct treatment.
