Hot flushes can be bothersome, embarrassing or even distressing.
Signs of a hot flush may include:
Women can have multiple hot flushes each day. Frequency varies, but it could be from a few each day to more than 20 daily. The timing of a hot flush is unpredictable, and it may draw unwanted attention and cause discomfort.
Night sweats are hot flushes that happen at night and involve excessive sweating.
Night sweats can affect your ability to fall asleep, quality of sleep, or interrupt sleep.
Night sweats can cause hassles like having to change bedsheets or clothes, doing extra washing or not being able to share a bed with your partner. Long-term sleep disruptions can also make daily life harder to manage.
Sleep disturbances are very common during perimenopause and after menopause.
Symptoms include:
Over time, sleep disturbances can affect your wellbeing, making managing day-to-day life much harder.
Irregular periods, skipped periods, or overly heavy or light periods can be an initial sign of the onset of menopause.
Besides hot flushes, night sweats and sleep disturbances, there are a suite of other menopause symptoms.
Changing hormone levels is the main driver of many of these symptoms.
