Which therapy is most effective for vasomotor symptoms in menopause?

Estrogen therapy
Progestin therapy
Calcitonin therapy
RANKL Inhibitor therapy

The correct answer is: Estrogen therapy

Estrogen therapy is the most effective treatment for vasomotor symptoms in menopause. Estrogen helps to alleviate hot flashes and night sweats, which are common symptoms experienced by women during menopause. Estrogen therapy works by replenishing the declining levels of estrogen in the body, helping to restore hormonal balance and reduce vasomotor symptoms effectively. Progestin therapy is often combined with estrogen therapy in women who have not had a hysterectomy to reduce the risk of endometrial hyperplasia. Calcitonin therapy is not indicated for the treatment of vasomotor symptoms in menopause, as it is primarily used for the treatment of osteoporosis. Similarly, RANKL inhibitor therapy is used in the treatment of osteoporosis, not for managing vasomotor symptoms in menopause.
