Veel vrouwen kampen in de (peri)menopauze met opvliegers en nachtzweten.
Hormonale suppletietherapie (HST) is bewezen effectief tegen deze vasomotore symptomen. Aangezien HST significante gezondheidsrisico’s met zich meebrengt, zoeken steeds meer vrouwen naar veilige alternatieven zoals acupunctuur. De westerse geneeskunde en traditionele Chinese geneeskunde (TCM), waar acupunctuur deel van uitmaakt, hebben een totaal verschillende benadering van (peri)menopauzale opvliegers. Dit artikel gaat in op beide benaderingen en beantwoordt de vraag of er bewijs is uit systematisch wetenschappelijk onderzoek dat acupunctuur helpt bij opvliegers.
