The Truth About Hot Flushes

Hot flushes sometimes include other symptoms like redness of the skin. While the episodes are usually short, many women find that they interfere with regular life. Hot flushes can continue for several years, with some women experience hot flushes for a decade or more. Women may experience anxiety and increased levels of stress. Night sweats are common.
As changes in hormones during menopause are the primary culprit behind hot flushes, the therapy should address the reasons for hormonal changes to happen. Hormonal changes can happen due to stress, depression and traumas. Under these situations side effects like loss of sleep, inappropriate nutrition and digestion can occur. Another big factor that can cause hormonal changes is the side effects of prescription drugs.
Another deviation from your health equilibrium could be declining in estrogen which will affect your body’s temperature.
