There are of course a group of women for whom hormonal therapy is not suitable and, for this reason, increasing our understanding of alternative treatments is vital.The exact pathophysiology of flashing is not known, although it is generally accepted that falling estrogens play a main role; flashes generally occur at times of relative estrogen withdrawal and replacing it will result in improvement in most women. The most commonly reported symptoms are vasomotor symptoms, and recent evidence suggests that these may last on average 7.4 years [Care must be taken though when recommending non-hormonal alternatives as first-line therapy with the belief that they are more effective than HRT, as selective interpretation of data and personal sentiments can cloud objective evaluation of the literature. doi: 10.3109/13625187.2010.529969.Curr Med Res Opin.

Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York This increases the amount of serotonin in the synaptic cleft available to bind to the postsynaptic cell. In this respect, flashes resemble a systemic heat dissipation response, which is controlled, in humans, by the medial preoptic area of the hypothalamus.Changes in core temperature may also be associated with alterations in neuroendocrine pathways involving steroid hormones, noradrenaline (NA), the endorphins and serotonin (Over recent years, our understanding of the kisspeptin-neurokinin B (NKB)- dynorphin (KNDy) signalling system in the hypothalamus has increased. 2004 Feb 9;4:4. doi: 10.1186/1471-2288-4-4.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a group of drugs typically used as antidepressants, which are thought to function by blocking the reuptake of serotonin to the presynaptic cell.
