Hot flashes are one of the most common hormonal symptoms women can experience during the menopause transition. It’s estimated that 75-85% of menopausal women experience hot flashes in some form.
A hot flash is a sudden feeling of warmth that spreads over the body and is often accompanied by a red, flushed face and sweating. Hot flashes can also be accompanied by other symptoms like rapid heartbeat, dizziness, and anxiety. Fortunately, there are lifestyle choices that can help mitigate hot flashes, including wearing loose clothing, avoiding triggers like spicy foods, practicing stress-relieving techniques, and more.
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can also help alleviate hot flashes. Addressing hot flashes may help to prevent the risk of other health conditions that can result from severe, unchecked hot flashes. Find out more about hot flashes during menopause and how to manage them.
