Understanding Symptom Clusters Reveals Complexity
A growing body of research indicates a wide range of symptoms, with ongoing studies revealing new potential symptoms over time. A significant sample size, such as 70,000 women, facilitates the examination of symptom variability. Statistical analyses have identified three core groups of symptoms that cluster together. The first group encompasses neurological symptoms, including irritability, anxiety, and forgetfulness. The second group focuses on vasomotor symptoms, which include hot flushes and night sweats. The third group pertains to sexual and reproductive health issues, such as low libido and vaginal dryness. This cluster analysis highlights the multifaceted nature of symptoms and their interrelations.
