Premenopause: how to get rid of hot flashes

Today we will talk about one component of premenopause and menopause – hot flashes and how you can help yourself get rid of this uncomfortable condition.

Hot flashes (hot flashes) - a well-known symptom of menopause, but many women experience it during premenopausal: then you wrap yourself in blankets, then run to the fan, dropping clothes.





For most women, premenopause begins around age 35. This is a long period (10-15 years), during which a woman experiences fluctuations in hormone levels of varying intensity until the menstrual cycle is completely stopped. The body stops producing enough estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.

How deeply you will feel the effects of these fluctuations depends on how you eat and what lifestyle you lead. (especially during premenopause).

Once you begin to understand your body language and know what to do, you will be able to maintain a high level of energy and libido, have beautiful skin and a slim body for many years to come.



My experience.

One day, a few years ago, I woke up at night from the feeling of heat and the unpleasant touch of moist pajamas to my skin. Sadly, I realized that this is another sign of biological wilting of the body. Hot flashes appeared only at night and only a few days before the start of the menstrual cycle.

Adjusting my diet, stress levels and adding all the necessary supplements and natural progesterone cream, after a couple of months I completely got rid of this uncomfortable condition.

Hot flashes, which according to statistics are experienced by 50 to 85% of women, are not necessarily a component of premenopausal and menopause. Tides are characterized by a feeling of heat and warmth, especially around the neck and face. They can occur at any time of the day or night.

Depending on the intensity of attacks, hot flashes can be accompanied by:

  • headache,
  • intense sweating,
  • fatigue,
  • weakness
  • sleeplessness
  • Frequent heartbeat.


Hot flashes usually begin before the menstrual period or during bleeding during premenopause.

Although hot flashes usually go away after menopause, some women continue to experience hot flashes after menopause.



Causes

The coordinated work of hormones helps to regulate body temperature. When hormone levels begin to fluctuate, body temperature also experiences sharp fluctuations, which causes untidy sensations in the body. Hot flashes occur when the blood vessels of the scalp and neck dilate, causing the skin to redden.

Until the end, the mechanism of the occurrence of tides by scientists has not yet been studied, but it is believed that such a change in vascular tone is associated with a change in the work of neurotransmitters of the nervous system, which is a consequence of interruptions in the work of hormones. Low or unstable levels of estrogen disrupt the hypothalamus (our internal thermostat), causing fluctuations in body temperature.

A common cause of hot flashes is considered low estrogen levels. However, this is not quite so: women experiencing these phenomena, most often there is an imbalance of several hormones at once. This may be a combination of estrogen dominance and low progesterone levels, or just low progesterone levels and normal estrogen levels.

Low levels of testosterone (even in men), high levels of hormones such as FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and LH (lutinizing hormone) and cortisol can also cause hot flashes.

The cause of this condition may be low levels of antioxidants in the body. Exactly. In the years of premenopause and menopause, you need to carefully monitor your diet..

Some medications (anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory) can also cause sudden changes in body temperature.
