[Differential diagnosis of vasomotor symptoms. Postmenopausal women management - CNGOF and GEMVi clinical practice guidelines].
2021
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) significantly decreases the frequency and intensity of vasomotor symptoms (VMS). It is recommended to evaluate clinical efficacy of HRT on VMS. The absence of reduction in VMS after adaptation of the modalities of the HRT suggests the possibility of atypical VMS. They should be evoked in the following clinical circumstances: when they do not give way with an adapted HRT (compliance and good use); when they appear or reappear long after menopause; when there are changes to the usual VMS; when they are associated with other functional signs. A first and second-line assessment is offered, after an interview and a detailed clinical examination, which will guide further explorations. The treatment is above all etiological when the results are positive. When the results are negative, an adaptation of the HRT can be proposed.
