Hot Flashes, When Do They Occur?
Hot flashes, a common and very difficult symptom of menopause typically last from two to thirty minutes every occurrence. So do these flashes actually have a schedule?
Many women undergoing menopausal, and experiencing these hot flashes suffer from more attacks during the night, as compared to the day. The most severe flashes deprive the sufferers from getting a full night sleep. In effect, the depravity causes other physical problems such as mood alterations and lack of concentration to name a few.
For some women, hot flashes actually do come with a vague schedule. Hot flashes, known as “night sweats” during the night, are more frequent during the night due to the discrepancy of amount of estrogen between the different times of day. Estrogen is typically lowest at night, thus, for some, it is possible to have constant night sweats, and not suffer from hot flashes during day time at all.
