What are hot flashes?

Hot flashes, also known as hot flushes, are sudden feelings of warmth which are usually most intense over the face, neck and chest. They may also be accompanied by sweat and reddening of the skin. Hot flashes typically last from 30 seconds to 10 minutes.

Hot flashes are extremely common during perimenopause and menopause, affecting up to 80% of women. They occur when falling estrogen levels in a woman's body cause changes in temperature regulation. Fluctuations in the hypothalamus, the part of the brain responsible for maintaining normal body temperature, trigger hot flashes in response.
