The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has released updated guidance on treating common menopause and perimenopause symptoms, including hot flashes and night sweats. The group, described as the leading OB-GYN professional organization in the United States, now recommends hormone replacement therapy for many women with these symptoms. It is the first update to this guidance since 2014. The New York Times reports that the group says the benefits of the treatment outweigh the harms for many women. CBS News quotes a menopause specialist calling hormone therapy first-line treatment for vasomotor symptoms. NPR reports the update as the first since 2014. All three reports are from left-side outlets, so the account rests on a single side's coverage.
