Treatment of Symptoms of the Menopause: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline

Gynecology (J.V.P.), Charlottesville, Virginia 22908; and University of Virginia Health System (R.J.S.), Charlottesville, Virginia 22903 Objective: The objective of this document is to generate a practice guideline for the management

and treatment of symptoms of the menopause. Participants: The Treatment of Symptoms of the Menopause Task Force included six experts, a methodologist, and a medical writer, all appointed by The Endocrine Society. Evidence:

The Task Force developed this evidenced-based guideline using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system to describe the strength of recommendations and the quality of

evidence. The Task Force commissioned three systematic reviews of published data and considered several other existing meta-analyses and trials. Consensus Process: Multiple e-mail communications, conference calls, and one

face-to-face meeting determined consensus. Committees of The Endocrine Society, representatives from endorsing societies, and members of The Endocrine Society reviewed and commented on the drafts of the guidelines. The

Australasian Menopause Society, the British Menopause Society, European Menopause and Andropause Society, the European Society of Endocrinology, and the International Menopause Society (co-sponsors of the guideline)

reviewed and commented on the draft. Conclusions: Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is the most effective treatment for vasomotor symptoms and other symptoms of the

climacteric. Benefits may exceed risks for the majority of symptomatic postmenopausal women who are under age 60 or under 10 years since the onset of

menopause. Health care professionals should individualize therapy based on clinical factors and patient preference. They should screen women before initiating MHT for cardiovascular and breast cancer risk and

recommend the most appropriate therapy depending on risk/benefit considerations. Current evidence does not justify the use ofMHT to prevent coronary heart disease, breast cancer, or dementia. Other options are available for those with vasomotor symptoms who prefer not to use MHT or who have contraindications because these patients

should not useMHT. Low-dose vaginal estrogen and ospemifene provide effective therapy for the genitourinary syndrome of menopause, and vaginal moisturizers and lubricants are available for those not choosing hormonal therapy. All postmenopausal women should embrace appropriate lifestyle measures. (J Clin Endocrinol Metab

•Topical non-hormonal options should be the first-line treatment in women with a history of

breast cancer, particularly those receiving tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors. Women with breast cancer who do not respond to

non-hormonal treatment may consider vaginalestrogens after discussion with the woman’s

oncology team and menopause specialist.

Vaginal bioadhesive moisturisers are a more physiological way of replacing vaginal secretions than vaginal gels such as K-Y GEL. They are

hydrophilic and rehydrate vaginal tissues, providing a reasonable alternative to vaginal estrogen. Lubricants should have similar osmolality and pH to that of physiological vaginal secretions.

alternatives to HRTA recent meta-analysis of a few randomisedcontrolled trials has shown a marginal benefit of

clonidine (centrally-acting alpha adrenergic agonist) over placebo, for hot flushes.(25-50-75 mcg X2/d).

A significant amount of evidence exists for the efficacy of SSRI’s such as fluoxetine (prisma, flutin, prozac) and paroxetine (seroxate) in treating vasomotor symptoms; the most convincing data are for the SNRI (venlafaxine-efexor, viepax) at a dose of 37.5 mg bd in cancer survivors. The most common side effect, nausea, limits the usefulness of this agent

PhytoestrogensData from some of the better researched phytoestrogen

containing preparations appear to demonstrate some

benefits, not only for symptom relief, but also on the

skeleton and cardiovascular system.

Efficacy for vasomotor symptom relief is lower than with

traditional HRT (maximally 60% symptom reduction

compared to 90–100% with traditional HRT).

There are as yet no hard data on major outcome

measures such as coronary heart disease and fractures.

Soy food linked to prolonged survival in certain breast cancer patients

Zhang FF, et al. Dietary Isoflavone Intake and All-Cause Mortality in Breast

Cancer Survivors: the Breast Cancer Family Registry. Cancer. Published online

March 6, 2017. doi: 10.1002/cncr.30615Univadis08/03/20175 viewsNew research indicates that dietary soy products are safe and even beneficial for women diagnosed with breast cancer. Published online in the journal Cancer , the findings may help resolve the long-running debate surrounding soy’s potential link to breast cancer outcomes as a result of its oestrogen-like properties.

Isoflavones, the component of soy with oestrogen-like

properties, have been shown to slow the growth of breast cancer cells in laboratory studies, and epidemiological analyses in

women with breast cancer found links between higher isoflavone intake and reduced mortality.

Page 30: רבעמה ל יגב םיילנומרוה אל םילופטžאי.pdfTreatment of Symptoms of the Menopause: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline Cynthia A. Stuenkel, Susan

The new study examined the relationship between dietary intake of isoflavones and death from any cause in 6,235 American and

Canadian women diagnosed with breast cancer. Over a median

follow-up of nine years, women with breast cancer who

consumed high amounts of isoflavones had a 21 per cent lower risk of dying than women who consumed low amounts. This decrease was largely confined to women with hormone receptor-negative tumours and women who were not treated with anti-oestrogen therapy. However,

other research has suggested that the isoflavones may reduce the effectiveness of hormone therapies for breast cancer.

In contrast, high isoflavone intake was not associated

with greater mortality among women receiving hormonal therapy.

Explain that there is some evidence that isoflavonesmay relieve vasomotor symptoms.

However,

explain that:

-Preparations vary

-The safety of different preparations is uncertain and

interactions with other drugs have been reported.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of fluoxetine and black cohosh in the treatment of women with postmenopausal symptoms. A total of 120 healthy women with menopausal symptoms were recruited to this prospective study with a follow-up period of 6 mo. They were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups and were treated with fluoxetine or black cohosh. After entry into the study, patients were examined at the first, second, third, and sixth months of the treatment period. The women kept diaries in which they reported the daily number and intensity of hot flushes and night sweats. In addition, at the beginning and end of the third month, they completed questionnaires consisting of a modified Kupperman Index, Beck’s Depression Scale, and a RAND-36 Quality-of-Life Questionnaire. Statistically significant differences were noted in the Kupperman Index and Beck’s Depression Scale at the end of the third month in both groups compared with baseline values. In the black cohosh group, the Kupperman Index decreased significantly compared with that in the fluoxetine group by the end of the third month. On the other hand, in the fluoxetine group, Beck’s Depression Scale decreased significantly compared with that in the black cohosh group. Monthly scores for hot flushes and night sweats decreased significantly in both groups; however, black cohosh reduced monthly scores for hot flushes and night sweats to a greater extent than did fluoxetine. At the end of the sixth month of treatment, black cohosh reduced the hot flush score by 85%, compared with a 62% result for fluoxetine. By the sixth month of the study, 40 women had discontinued the study—20 (33%) in the fluoxetine group and 20 (33%) in the black cohosh group.

Compared with fluoxetine, black cohosh is more effective for treating hot flushes and night sweats. On the other hand, fluoxetine is more effective in improvements shown on Beck’s Depression Scale.

Mode of action of Ze 450

Cimicifuga extracts do not have an estrogenic effect 1,2,3

There is a great body of evidence that Cimicifuga extracts have central (neuro-hormonal) effects 1,2,3,4,5

Several studies suggest a partial agonistic action at the serotonin receptors (5-HT), the dopamine receptor and the μ-opiate

receptor 3,4 – for the latter the clinical relevance is questionable

COMPARISON OF NEW MINIMALLY INVASIVE ER:YAG LASER TREATMENT AND HORMONAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY IN THE TREATMENT OF VAGINAL ATROPHYGaspar Adrian (AR) [1][1] University of Mendoza

TITLE.AUTHOR/S.ABSTRACT.

Objective: The objective of this study was to comp are the efficacy and safety of two minimally invasive procedures for treatment of vaginal atrophy; a new Er:YAG laser procedure and hormonal replacement therapy with estriol. Method: 50 vaginal atrophy patients were randomly divided in two equal groups. Group A patients were

submitted to long term estriol therapy: 0.5 mgr/day 3 times a week during 2 weeks, followed with the same estriol dosage twice a week for 4 weeks. B group patients firstly got the same short term estriol

therapy for 2 weeks, followed with 3 sessions of ErYAG laser treatment, with 3 weeks interval between

the sessions. Therapy efficacy was measured using maturation value, pH value, VAS scores for atrophy

symptoms: Dyspareunia, Dryness, Irritation and Leukorrhea. On 6 patients from each group biopsies

were taken (before and 3 months post-op). Follow-ups were at 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after the therapy.

Results: Both groups showed improvement in atrophy, but laser therapy showed better and longer lasting effects. Maturation value in A group improved from 22,5 points to 24,7 points at 6 months follow-up. In comparison to that B group improvements was from 20,8 points to 47,9 points. pH value improved at 3 months for 7,2% in A group, and for 17,6% in B group. Dyspareunia in A group improved for 48%, and in B group for 72%; Dryness in A group for 68%, in B group for 76%; Irritation in A group for 48%, in B group for 60% and Leukorrhea in A group for 81%, while in B group for 94%. Both groups tolerated the therapy well and adverse effects were mild and transient.

Conclusions: Hormonal replacement therapy is considered to be the first choice for vaginal atrophy, but this new minimally invasive Er:YAG laser procedure seems to be safe and efficacious alternative with potential to offer to vaginal atrophy patients longer period of symptom free life.
