Some 85 percent of all women experience hot flashes, either during pre-menopause or in menopause itself. The physiology of the hot flash is still not understood, but it appears to start in the hypothalamus, the body’s thermostat, in response to a drop in estrogen. During a flash, the woman experiences a severe feeling of heat, especially in the head and neck, often in the entire upper half of the body. Sometimes the face is blotched and ruddy as a result of the dilation of blood vessels on the surface of the skin. In some cases, flashes are accompanied by disruptions in sleep patterns and night sweats.
Flashes usually last for only a few minutes, but may continue for up to an hour. The body may attempt to cool down by beading with perspiration. Hot weather, hot food or drink, stress, and other sources of heat can trigger flashes without warning.
Many women who seek estrogen treatment for their hot flashes do find relief. Yet in all cases, whether treated or not, they will eventually stop as soon as the body adjusts to postmenopausal levels of estrogen.
