Hot flashes

Hot flashes and menopause help

Fluctuating oestrogen levels can disrupt your body's temperature regulation. The result? Excessive sweating. Or the opposite: you feel extremely cold and can't get warm. Hot flashes are a typical menopausal symptom and they can be really distressing. If you suffer from them frequently, you know that they are no joke. Read more about hot flashes.

At first, I thought I was having a panic attack but it turned out to be a hot flash. It's a horrible feeling and extremely uncomfortable. - Marre (age 44)

What treatment options are available to you?

If you want to through menopause with little or no discomfort, adopting a healthy lifestyle is the first step. But sometimes a healthy lifestyle isn't enough. What can you do if you continue to suffer from hot flashes despite exercising regularly and living a healthy, stress-free life?  

What options are available to you? 

Mood swings are caused by erratic fluctuations in oestrogen and progesterone levels during perimenopause and very low levels around menopause. Hormone therapy supplements the body with hormones that are lost during the menopausal transition, thereby reducing symptoms such as hot flashes.  

Clonidine may be prescribed for women who cannot take oestrogen-based HRT (due to, for instance, an oestrogen-dependent tumour, cardiovascular disease, vaginal bleeding of unknown cause, liver disease or thrombosis). Clonidine is not a primary therapy for the treatment of hot flashes because it can cause side effects. 

What do you need to know? 

  • A healthy lifestyle remains important even if you are on HRT. A nutritious diet, regular exercise and getting plenty of rest are essential for going through menopause feeling healthy and energised. 
  • Women who go through early menopause or have had their ovaries removed may be offered HRT to prevent osteoporosis. 
  • Women who still have their uterus are typically given HRT with both oestrogen and progesterone to protect the lining of the uterus. Progesterone also has other positive effects on the body, such as promoting sleep, strengthening bones and protecting against breast cancer.
