  • Title: Acute consequences of the menopausal transition: the rise of common menopausal symptoms.
    Author: Gracia CR, Freeman EW.
    Journal: Endocrinol Metab Clin North Am; 2004 Dec; 33(4):675-89. PubMed ID: 15501640.
    Abstract:
    More than 80% of women experience psychologic or physical symptoms in the late reproductive years, with varying degrees of severity and disruption in their lives. Patients and clinicians have misconceptions about what changes are considered "normal" or"abnormal" during this period. Of importance to clinicians, large-scale longitudinal studies recently have been conducted to better characterize and explore changes during this period. This article re-views the current evidence regarding the acute symptoms of the menopausal transition, including vasomotor symptoms, mood changes, sleep problems, and changes in sexual functioning.
