Article Synopsis
- - Evidence suggests that tracking menopausal symptoms can enhance communication with doctors, help women seek medical assistance, and reduce the severity of these symptoms.
- - The review analyzed 18 studies involving 1,718 participants and found that using symptom diaries notably decreased the frequency of hot flushes and improved overall health awareness and treatment goal-setting.
- - Limitations include a small number of high-quality studies; however, the findings indicate that symptom monitoring could be a valuable intervention for managing menopausal symptoms.
