  Yes, hot flashes are a common and often uncomfortable symptom of perimenopause and menopause, caused by the decrease in estrogen and progesterone as your body transitions. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help ease this, reducing both the frequency and severity of hot flashes.

  For many women, hot flashes start in their late 40s or early 50s and can feel overwhelming. The sudden rush of heat, mostly in the face, neck, and chest, can make you feel out of control, especially when they disrupt your sleep with night sweats. It can be frustrating and exhausting, but you’re not alone in this experience, and there are ways to manage it.

  If you're struggling with hot flashes, I recommend talking to your sanoMidLife clinician about treatment options, including HRT. There is support available, and with the right approach, you can find relief and get back to feeling more like yourself.
