Hot flashes are the sudden feeling of increased body temperature that is mainly associated with menopause and mainly affects women.
During menopause, hot flashes are more intense usually on the face, neck and chest and can cause skin redness. They can be accompanied by increased heart rate and excessive sweating followed by a feeling of cold. Their frequency differs from person to person, but generally they last a few minutes and occur mainly at night. The exact cause remains unclear, but it is believed to be a result of hormonal changes characteristic of menopause and increased sensitivity of the body’s temperature control system, which becomes more sensitive to small changes.
However, both in women and men, the problem can also be associated with actual diseases, such as hyperthyroidism, prostate cancer, or diseases related to the hypothalamus or pituitary gland. Hot flashes can also be caused by cancer treatments.
The limitation of hot flashes as well as night sweats can be achieved with the use of nutritional supplements based on plant-derived ingredients which contain phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens effectively and safely mimic the good action of estrogen without having unwanted effects as they do not have estrogenic action.
Its use can be carried out without interruption for as long as it is desired.
In any case, proper and safe diagnosis and treatment is achieved only through a gynecologist following a series of diagnostic tests, a practice that is recommended to follow every time something concerns you in your body.
