Pot for Menopause Symptom Relief Grows in Popularity

Marijuana is gaining popularity for managing menopausal symptoms, a small study in California found.

Among 231 female veterans based in northern California, 27% reported that they used cannabis to treat symptoms such as night sweats, hot flashes, or insomnia, and an additional 10% were interested in future use, reported Carolyn Gibson, PhD, of the San Francisco VA Health Care System, and colleagues.

Considerably fewer — only 19% — used conventional treatments such as hormone therapy, according to the group’s abstract presented at the North American Menopause Society 2020 virtual meeting.

Gibson said that while she expected to see some women use cannabis to manage their symptoms, she was surprised to see a rate of nearly 30%.

“This analysis assessed various menopausal symptoms and their association with health outcomes. Women with two or more moderate to severe menopausal symptoms had an increased risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease,” said study author Dr. Matthew Nudy, a cardiology fellow at Penn State Hershey Medical Center.

This study didn’t prove a cause-and-effect relationship, it only showed an association between menopausal symptoms and stroke and other heart and blood vessel diseases. It’s possible that menopause symptoms might not be a cause of these problems at all. It may be that other factors, such as obesity or diabetes, may lead to both menopausal symptoms and poor health outcomes.

Nudy also noted that past research has

Sept. 28 (UPI) — More women either are using cannabis or want to start doing so to manage some symptoms of menopause, according to a study presented Monday during the 2020 Virtual Annual Meeting of the North American Menopause Society.

Roughly one in four women in a survey reported they had used or currently were using cannabis to manage their menopause, while fewer than the one in five who indicated they were taking more traditional treatments such as hormone therapy.

Fifty-four percent of women respondents said they experienced hot flashes and night sweats, while 69% reported genitourinary symptoms and 27% said they had insomnia resulting from menopause, the researchers said.

“These findings suggest that cannabis use to manage menopause symptoms may be relatively common,” study co-author Carolyn Gibson said in a statement.

“However, we do not know whether cannabis use is safe or effective for menopause symptom management or whether
