Hot flashes and night sweats occurring during menopause do not always require treatment; the need for intervention depends on the severity of symptoms. Mild hot flashes typically do not necessitate specific clinical treatment. However, if symptoms are severe—especially when accompanied by psychological manifestations—medication, such as conventional estrogen therapy, may be prescribed under a physician’s guidance and supervision.
