At Magee’s Midlife Health Center, hot flashes aren’t the half of it. — By Anna Dubrovsky MAGEE: MAGEE-WOMENS RESEARCH INSTITUTE & FOUNDATION PAGE 15

When the Midlife Health Center opened at Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC, its gynecologists expected to hear about hot flashes, night sweats, pain during intercourse, and zero sex drive — problems they’re trained to address. They were in for a surprise.

“Women come to see us for sleep issues. They come Sleep medicine isn’t the sort of thing that gynecologists to see us for weight-related issues. They come to see learn in residency. The Midlife Health Center team us for mood issues,” says Beth Prairie, MD, MPH. familiarized themselves with sleep hygiene — the dos “They’re coming to us for things that are not considered and don’ts of getting a good night’s rest — by reading traditionally gynecologic, even though we’re all medical literature and consulting with experts. gynecologists, nor are they things that we necessarily Dr. Balk wants to go a step further by shadowing think of as menopause-related.” a behavioral sleep specialist at Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic. Earlier this year, the Midlife Health Center surveyed its patients and middle-aged patients at two general “Sleep is really, really important in maintaining health, gynecology practices about the reason for their visit. and I think that sleep medications are really only to Nearly 80 percent of its patients cited sleep problems, be used for short term,” she explains. “We have a lot of compared to less than 50 percent at the other practices. patients who come in and they’ve take Ambien for years. Midlife Health Center patients were also more likely to It’s probably not the best way to go, to have to take a report moodiness, weight gain, and sexual problems. sleep medication every night or more nights than not. Behavioral sleep therapy tries to get to the root cause “I think the reason that we’re not seeing women for hot of why people aren’t sleeping and work on the root flashes and night sweats as much as we thought we cause, as opposed to giving a medication to try to would is because traditional gynecologists are great at make people sleepy.” those things,” says Judith Balk, MD, MPH, who helped start the Midlife Health Center in 2005. As specialists There are many reasons why a woman in midlife — in menopause, she and her colleagues attract patients roughly age 40 to 60 — might have trouble sleeping. who “are convinced there is something else that’s For one thing, “everyone sleeps less well as they age,” going on that is related to menopause.” Dr. Prairie says.

Dr. Prairie points out that such practices reduce not only stress but also hot flashes. “I tell patients that The ABCs of Better ZZZs this is not weird mumbo jumbo. Your nervous system is real, and if you have higher sympathetic tone, you will have more hot flashes. All of these practices decrease sympathetic tone, and that is why they work. It is not magic.
