Abstract

In this review, the causes and results of the metabolic syndrome and the relationship between vasomotor symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, which started with the termination of ovarian activity in the postmenopausal period, were compared. The pathophysiology of the postmenopausal and metabolic syndrome has been examined in parallel. Vasomotor symptoms have been shown to be more severe in postmenopausal women with metabolic syndrome. © 2017, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi. All rights reserved.
