Learn MoreWhat are hot flashes?
A hot flash is the sudden feeling of warmth in the upper body, which is usually most intense over the face, neck and chest. Your skin might redden, as if you're blushing. A hot flash can also cause sweating. The frequency and intensity of hot flashes vary among women. A single episode may last a minute or two — or as long as 5 minutes.
Hot flashes may be mild or so intense that they disrupt daily activities. They can happen at any time of day or night. Nighttime hot flashes (night sweats) may wake you from sleep and can cause long-term sleep disruptions. How often hot flashes occur varies among women, but most women who report having hot flashes experience them daily. On average, hot flash symptoms persist for more than seven years. Some women have them for more than 10 years.

Questions about Hot Flashes
When do hot flashes start?
Can you experience hot flashes during pregnancy or postpartum?
Hot flashes during the postpartum period are also relatively common, especially for women who have just given birth. This is because the rapid drop in hormone levels that occurs after delivery can cause fluctuations in body temperature and trigger hot flashes. In both cases, hot flashes during pregnancy or postpartum are usually not a cause for concern, but if they are accompanied by other symptoms, such as severe headaches, dizziness, or fainting, it is important to seek medical advice.

More About Hot Flashes
Hot flashes are a common and often debilitating symptom of menopause that can affect a woman's quality of life. At Modern Age, we understand the impact of hot flashes and we offer a range of treatments and therapies to help women manage this condition.
Hot flashes are caused by hormonal imbalances and can cause sudden feelings of intense heat that can last for several minutes. These episodes are often accompanied by sweating, rapid heartbeat, and chills, and can be really disruptive to daily life.
Hormone therapy can help to balance hormones and reduce hot flashes, while making lifestyle modifications, such as engaging in regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, and reducing stress, can also help to manage this condition. In addition, natural remedies, such as herbal supplements and acupuncture, can also be effective in managing hot flashes.
