Vasomotor Symptom Mitigation

Meaning

Vasomotor Symptom Mitigation is the clinical strategy and resulting physiological process of reducing the frequency, severity, and duration of vasomotor symptoms, most notably hot flashes and night sweats, which are common manifestations of fluctuating or declining estrogen levels during the menopausal transition. Effective mitigation restores thermal comfort and significantly improves sleep quality and overall life quality metrics. This intervention is a cornerstone of comprehensive postmenopausal care.
