Ah, hot flashes - the bane of many women's existence during menopause! 😩 Let me break it down for you.
A hot flash is a sudden feeling of intense body heat, typically concentrated around the face, neck, and chest area. It's often accompanied by sweating, flushing of the skin, and a rapid heartbeat. Talk about an unwelcome guest!
What Causes Hot Flashes?
The primary culprit behind these heated episodes is the fluctuation of estrogen levels in a woman's body during the menopausal transition. As estrogen production decreases, it can mess with the hypothalamus (the body's thermostat) and trigger those infamous hot flashes.
"It's like your body is having its own personal heat wave, complete with sweat and all!" - Dr. Emily, Rebalance Hormone Clinic
How Long Do Hot Flashes Last?
The duration and frequency of hot flashes can vary from woman to woman. Some may experience them for just a few seconds, while others might suffer through them for several minutes. And get this - they can occur multiple times per hour or just a few times per week. Oh, the joys of menopause! 🙄
