Hot flashes? You’re in good company!

Millions of women suffer from hot flashes. Once your period has stopped for a year, you are in menopause. But “postmenopausal” symptoms can still continue for several years.

(Read more: Postmenopause)


Those Familiar Symptoms
Hot flashes—sudden sensations of heat and sweating—are the most common symptoms of menopause. They can be severe enough to get in the way of all the things you want to do.

When the same symptoms happen at night, they are called “night sweats”—and they can interrupt your sleep and make you feel miserable.

There are two kinds of menopause:
Natural. This usually happens between the ages of 45 to 55. As women move into postmenopause, symptoms such as hot flashes can get worse.

Surgical. Women who have had their ovaries removed (with or without the uterus) suffer from the same symptoms as natural menopause. The difference is, for these women, hot flashes can literally begin to happen overnight—and with greater intensity—immediately after the surgery.

  • Oophorectomy means the ovaries are removed. In a BSO (bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy), both the ovaries and the fallopian tubes are removed. (Read more: Hysterectomy (With Ovaries Removed)

Important Safety Information
Estrasorb is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause. Estrasorb should not be used in women with any of the following conditions: undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding; known, suspected, or history of cancer of the breast; known or suspected estrogen-dependent neoplasia; active deep-vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism or history of these conditions; active or recent (eg, within the past year) arterial thromboembolic disease (eg, stroke, myocardial infarction); liver dysfunction or disease. Estrasorb should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to its ingredients; known or suspected pregnancy. There is no indication for Estrasorb in pregnancy. There appears to be little or no increased risk of birth defects in women who have used estrogens and progestins from oral contraceptives inadvertently during early pregnancy (See PRECAUTIONS in full Prescribing Information).

The most frequently reported adverse events (≥5% and more frequently than placebo) in clinical trials for Estrasorb were: Infection; Sinusitis; Pruritus; Breast pain; and Endometrial disorder.

Important safety information you should know about estrogen.
Estrogens increase the chances of getting cancer of the uterus. Report any unusual vaginal bleeding right away while you are using Estrasorb. Vaginal bleeding after menopause may be a warning sign of cancer of the uterus (womb). Your healthcare professional should check any unusual vaginal bleeding to find out the cause.

Do not use estrogens with or without progestins to prevent heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, or dementia.
Using estrogens with or without progestins may increase your chances of getting heart attacks, strokes, breast cancer, and blood clots. Using estrogens with or without progestins may increase your risk of dementia, based on a study of women aged 65 years or older. You and your healthcare professional should talk regularly about whether you still need treatment with Estrasorb.
