Knowing how often your menopause symptoms are occurring can help your doctor choose the best treatment for managing them.
For instance, if you're only having a few mild hot flashes a day, the ideal medical therapy is probably none at all. On the other hand, if you have barely slept in a week because of your persistent night sweats, your doctor may be able to recommend strategies or prescribe medication that can help you chill out.
