Understanding Night Sweats
Night sweats are a real challenge for many post-menopausal women, disrupting their sleep and quality of life.
According to studies, approximately two thirds of postmenopausal women experience these hot flashes and night sweats. These episodes of night sweats can last for some time, causing sudden awakenings and impacting the quality of sleep.
Duration and frequency of night sweats
Night sweats begin with an increased heart rate, followed by a sudden surge in heat throughout the body , accompanied by a excessive sweating and slight chills.
These unpleasant episodes disrupt sleep, leading to irritability and stress. The time of onset of night sweats varies from woman to woman. Some women experience them from the beginning of the menopause , or even in pre-menopause , while others only experience it temporarily. The frequency of episodes also varies, ranging from once a day to several times a day.
Why are women affected by these symptoms?
These episodes of night sweats are mainly attributable to hormonal fluctuations . The gradual decrease in estrogen levels disrupts the brain's temperature regulation center. In response, the body releases adrenaline , which speeds up the heart rate, dilates blood vessels in the skin, and causes sweating to lower body temperature.
