Скачать или смотреть Hot Flushes Explained By A Menopause Doctor

Have you seen this video?

In this clip, Tracey Monique experiences a hot flush that’s so extreme you can see steam rising from her head.

It’s sparked a conversation around this symptom that so many perimenopausal and menopausal women are familiar with.

Hot flushes are one of the most common menopause symptoms. Why do they happen?

Hormonal changes affect the brain’s ability to regulate body temperature. Your body misreads the environment and overreacts, causing a sudden wave of heat (and sometimes, a cold flush too).

These can feel overwhelming and embarrassing particularly in a work or social setting .

You can manage the frequency and severity of hot flushes by:

Identifying and avoiding triggers such as food types, alcohol, smoking
Using Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) if this is an option to you
Non-hormonal treatments if HRT isn’t an option

To reassure you though symptoms often improve with time

This clip is just one woman’s moment, but it speaks to the shared experience of so many. You’re not alone 💛
