Is it hot in here, or is it just perimenopause?
Hot flashes are sudden feelings of heat, often accompanied by flushing, sweating, and sometimes a chill afterward. They affect up to 80% of women during the menopause transition and can last 7-10 years on average.
At night, hot flashes become night sweats, and they are one of the most disruptive symptoms for sleep, mood, and quality of life.
This hub covers what the evidence says about triggers, treatments (including hormone therapy and non-hormonal options), when night sweats deserve a medical check, and the low-risk changes that can make life more comfortable.
