The Cause of Vasomotor Symptoms: Resonance Phenomena in the Vascular Bed

Abstract

This paper describes the probable cause of vasomotor symptoms during climacterics and before menstruation/ovulation. We propose that sex hormones imbalance changes the elasticity, resonance frequencies, and resonance peaks of vascular beds primarily in the uterus/intestines. It is also explained that vasomotor symptoms occur in the locations which resonate blood flow from the uterus/intestines for the above reason.

Keywords: Vasomotor symptom; menopausal symptom; premenstrual symptom.
