Hot flashes can descend on you at any time, leaving you sweaty and red-faced. But they're quite common — as many as three out of every four women experience hot flashes as they go through the menopausal transition.
You don't need to seek treatment for hot flashes, especially if you're tolerating them well on your own. If your hot flashes are particularly bothersome, treatment options are available. But finding the best way to control your hot flashes can take time. Start by asking yourself how hot flashes are disrupting your regular life. Then consider the benefits and drawbacks of the most common remedies, which range from lifestyle changes to prescription medications.
What are hot flashes?
When you're having a hot flash, you might experience:
A feeling of mild warmth to intense heat spreading through your upper body and face
A flushed appearance with red, blotchy skin on your face, neck and upper chest
A rapid heartbeat
Perspiration, mostly on the upper body
A chilled feeling as the hot flash subsides
Hot flashes vary in frequency — you may have several a day or just a few a week. You could experience full-on sweating throughout the day and night, or you may just occasionally feel warmer than you used to. Hot flashes can last as long as 30 minutes, but most subside within a couple of minutes. Nighttime hot flashes — or night sweats — can wake you from a sound sleep.
