HOT FLASHES

Women suffering from early stages of menopause often experience hot flashes that range from feeling flushed, sweaty, hot and cold, or feverish. Women describe their experience in different ways. Many say they literally feel like the heat is coming from the inside of their bodies and that this fluctuation in temperature can come in a flash or can last for days on end. The hot flashes occur when blood vessels open widely, letting more blood flow to the head and neck, causing heat, redness, and frequently perspiration. Sometimes it occurs at night (night sweats); followed by a chill causing the lady to grab for a blanket she had kicked off moments ago. These hot flushes/flashes are usually over in a few seconds, but they always arrive unexpectedly and at the most inconvenient times. They are triggered by falling estrogen levels. For many women, there is a tremendous void in treatment of menopausal symptoms. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy has been proven to ease the hot flashes and the symptoms of menopause. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy can help regain your youthfulness of your 30's.
