In most women, hot flushes resolve within a few years of menopause, but some women report symptoms for many years after they cease to menstruate.</DIV><BR /><DIV>Researchers in America assessed the severity of hot flushes in 3167 post-menopausal women aged 67 years on average, who had attained menopause around 19 years back. These women were asked to fill out questionnaires that gave characteristics associated with hot flushes at the outset and after three years of follow-up. Initially, 375 (nearly 12 per cent) women reported bothersome hot flushes. Symptoms were seen more in women who had less education, had more recently entered menopause, had undergone hysterectomy, or had previously used oestrogen. However, the mechanisms underlying these relationships are still unclear.</DIV></FONT></TD></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/98212922-ECB2-4305-B70E-99A2D39DD4E5/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
