Menopause is a natural stage in every woman’s life. It marks the end of menstrual cycles, but it’s also the beginning of a new chapter.
For many, it brings uncomfortable symptoms. Hot flushes and night sweats are often at the top of the list of physical symptoms. Hot flushes can feel unsettling and uncomfortable, especially when they happen often or disrupt your sleep. Some women also feel anxious or experience a racing heartbeat. It’s all part of the body adjusting.
Hot flushes aren’t just physical - they can knock your confidence, disrupt your work, and make social situations difficult. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. But know that there is help...
Frequently asked questions about hot flushes
Why do hot flushes happen?
They happen when blood vessels near the surface of your skin suddenly widen. This helps your body release heat, which lowers your temperature, but makes you feel suddenly hot and sweaty. The main cause is the drop in oestrogen during menopause. These hormonal changes affect how your body regulates temperature.
How long do hot flushes last generally?
It depends. Some women find they only last for a few months, while others experience them for several years. Hot flushes usually become less intense over time. With the right support, they can feel much more manageable.
How frequent are hot flushes generally?
You might have just a few a week, or several a day. Hot flushes can come on without warning. Some last just a few seconds, while others can continue for up to 10 minutes. Some women also experience other symptoms at the same time, like a racing heartbeat or a sudden wave of anxiety.
Can I manage hot flushes without medication?
Yes, many women manage hot flushes naturally. Simple lifestyle changes, homeopathy, relaxation techniques, and nutritional support can all make a big difference. The key is finding what works best for you.
