Understanding Menopausal Hot Flushes

Hot flushes are widely considered by many women to be among the most debilitating of all symptoms. Hot flushes can appear at any time during the day and their duration can vary depending on the individual. What causes them? And, more importantly, how can you get relief?
Hot flashes are caused by changing hormone levels, when the body temperature rises too fast for your body to adjust to the temperature. This means that there is a delay and where your body catches up you feel unbelievably hot very quickly! Many women feel that they cannot go about their everyday lives simply because they do not know when the next one will come.
Fortunately there a number of ways to deal with it in the short term. Sadly, there is very little warning before you get one, so it can be hard to be prepared for it when it hits you. It is recommended, when you are faced with this symptom, to sit down and take deep breaths, counting to three each time. Furthermore, it may be wise to make sure that the room temperature is comfortable. Perhaps open a window or briefly turn up the air conditioning.
Finally, it is important to be comfortable and sit it out. If you are getting very irritated with the hot flushes then you may want to consider a longer term method of treatment such as Hormone Replacement Therapy. Unfortunately, this type of treatment has been linked to a number of problems such as heart disease and cancer. There are a few natural alternatives out there that you may wish to consider, such as Amberen.
