message: The article describes what a hot flash is but really doesn't explain how or why it happens, the mechanism behind the event, etc.  It would be nice to see this added.  --AStanhope 18:01, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Agreed. Here is a good commentary in NewScientist magazine (subscription unfortunately required)  speculating on the reasons for the surprising lack of Medical and Scientific knowledge on this condition (and others) 75.144.242.225 (talk) 20:58, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

text: If the true cause of hot flashes is not known by scientists, at least that should be put into the article somewhere.  If there are speculations or something, and we can find citations for them, they should be included. Not including anything about its pathophysiology would provoke the reader to ask the same question which sparked this section of the talk page. 24.15.197.87 (talk) 02:46, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Doing research for an assignment here. Not too familiar with talk page etiquette but I felt I should say something.
The entry on SERMS segues unnaturally into mention of "PhytoSERMS" and their supposed all-natural benefit. The only example of a SERM listed below is Femarelle, which I believe is not widely known and is certainly not the prototypical example of a SERM (tamoxifen anyone?). In any case, this seems more likely to be advertising of some kind so I thought it should be brought up. 
Thanks.

replies: text: Thanks for your comments. I stumbled across this page recently, and am not terribly familiar with the topic, but I have very similar concerns. In my opinion, and in light of your comments, this section needs to be heavily modified, or else cut out, as it otherwise may in fact be subtle (or not so subtle) advertising.

thread_title:  SERMS? 

message: Reference [5] is not available, and I wasn't able to find that information by googling. Should we remove the text it refers to? Or at least change the superscript to [citation needed]? - CristiCbz (talk) 15:52, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  The link to reference [5] is broken. 

message: I removed the reference regarding RAD1901 trials.  Although I was able to locate the issue that had been cited:
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News, 2009. Clinical Trials Update. 29(8). n.p. Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News. url: http://www.genengnews.com/issue/toc/111/.  Accessed April 19, 2013.
I could not find any article pertaining to this drug within the issue.  I also could not find any article within the issue about "Clinical Trials Update" (the title of the formerly cited article) or any article specifically pertaining to trials of this drug in another issue of the journal.
So, I have left the information here and I have provided a new reference.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Datdyat (talk • contribs) 12:01, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

message: Is hot flash only sensation of heat and body temperature doesn't really arise?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.60.175.170 (talk) 13:40, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

message: Although mentioned in the second sentence, "Hot flashes are a symptom which may have several other causes" I feel like the information in this article is very limited and doesn't really address any of these other symptoms, like withdrawals, etc... Can these other symptoms be listed and elaborated on?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.112.240.84 (talk) 11:54, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

message: The Isoflavones and Other Phytoestrogens sections seem to be weakly sourced and probably should be removed if there is no better info available.
Additionally, the info in these sections seems to at least partially contradict the better sourced Phytoestrogen article. Strangestdream (talk) 16:27, 5 April 2022 (UTC)

message: I see no mention of the "Embr Wave" wrist device in this article (about $250-299 US). Is this a legitimate treatment for hot flashes as the company's TV commercial claims? I have found various items about it, but can find no peer-reviewed support for the claim of hot flash relief.
* Item from MIT News about the development process and marketing. No mention of hot flash effectiveness. The inventors were MIT students who won a design contest, so the source has bias. https://news.mit.edu/2017/personal-thermostat-startup-heats-commercialization-0927
* Wired item that speaks of testers claiming it worked for a few degrees of heating or cooling. No mention of hot flash effectiveness. https://www.wired.com/story/embr-wave-personal-thermostat-wearable/
* CNBC item stating that the device worked for the writer. No mention of hot flash effectiveness. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/11/embr-wave-review.html
* Review item on the Reynaud Association website that finds the device to be so-so. No mention of hot flash effectiveness. https://www.raynauds.org/2018/05/05/hot-products-for-spring-2018/
* Journal of Thermal Biology peer-reviewed evaluation of the Embr Wave device. It seemed to have little to no effect controlling the impression of temperature change in the subjects. No mention of hot flash effectiveness. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306456521000425?via%3Dihub
* USA Today review that states the device does not work.  No mention of hot flash effectiveness. https://reviewed.usatoday.com/lifestyle/features/embr-wave-review-personal-wris/t-thermostat
