In the broad field of women’s health, one well-known issue often affects women’s quality of life: hot flashes.
Primarily associated withmenopause, these sudden waves of heat disrupt the daily lives of 8 million French women for an average of 7 years.
Let’s dive into this topic, examine its possible causes, and explore the various ways to manage them.
Hot flashes: What are they?
Menopausecausesa drop inestrogen levels, which disrupts the regulation of body temperature, leading to hot flashes that can begin as early aspremenopauseandpersist intopostmenopause.
Hot flashes are characterized by a sudden rise in temperature in the face, neck, and chest, accompanied by sweating and flushing. They occur unpredictably between 1 and 15 times a day for affected women, disrupting their daily lives duringmenopause,perimenopause, andevenpostmenopause, with variations in their frequency and intensity.
How can you recognize hot flashes?
These episodes result from the dilation of small blood vessels due to thehormonal imbalanceofmenopause, causing a sudden sensation of intense heat. They are often accompanied by flushing, excessive sweating, heart palpitations, and chills, and can even cause faintness. When they occur at night—knownas “night sweats”—they disruptsleep, leading to fatigue and irritability, with their intensity varying from person to person.
