2018
AbstractUntreated vasomotor symptoms of the menopause can have a major impact on women at work. Recent recommendations advocate modification of the working environment, including adequate air-conditioning, to help relieve these symptoms. However, this may cause discomfort for work colleagues.

Our patient’s symptoms were exacerbated when her postmenopausal work colleagues turned the air-conditioner temperature down to relieve their vasomotor symptoms
