Abstract

Menopause is a biopsychosocial phenomenon in a woman’s life, and it occurs at about the age of 48-55 years. Factors such as smoking, the number of children, early puberty, and social class can cause early natural menopause. Symptoms that occur during menopause include headache, mood disorders, insomnia, distraction, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and sweating. The most common symptom is hot flashes, which affect 85% of women with menopause. Recently, people are showing more tendencies toward alternative therapies and herbs phytoestrogens. This review aims to introduce the mechanism of herbal phytoestrogens controlling hot flashes during menopause. Our searches were performed in the databases of PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane. English clinical trials, that investigated the effects of phytoestrogen plants individually or in combination on the treatment of hot flashes in menopause were analyzed. After reviewing articles and meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 18 articles were selected. In this study, 18 clinical trials of 2351 female patients were analyzed. The phytoestrogen plants studied include soy, red clover, cohosh, hops, flax, pomegranate, anise, and Vitex Agnus. Studies have shown the beneficial effects of phytoestrogens in controlling hot flashes, but in some cases, including soybeans, there are contradictory effects. Therefore, more clinical trials are needed to achieve reliable results to confirm the phytoestrogen effects of herbal medicines.

绝经期潮热中的植物雌激素:综述文章

更年期是女性生活中的一种生物心理社会现象，发生在48-55岁左右。吸烟、孩子数量、青春期提前和社会阶层等因素都会导致自然更年期提前。更年期出现的症状包括头痛、情绪障碍、失眠、注意力分散、潮热、阴道干燥和出汗。最常见的症状是潮热，85%的更年期女性都会出现潮热。最近，人们越来越倾向于使用替代疗法和草药植物雌激素。本文旨在介绍草药植物雌激素控制更年期潮热的机制。我们在PubMed、Scopus和Cochrane的数据库中进行了搜索。分析了英国临床试验，研究了植物雌激素植物单独或联合治疗更年期潮热的效果。在审查文章并符合纳入和排除标准后，选择了18篇文章。本研究分析了2351名女性患者的18项临床试验。研究的植物雌激素植物包括大豆、红三叶草、升麻、啤酒花、亚麻、石榴、茴香和黄葡萄。研究表明，植物雌激素在控制潮热方面具有有益作用，但在包括大豆在内的某些情况下，其作用是矛盾的。因此，需要更多的临床试验来获得可靠的结果，以证实草药的植物雌激素作用。
