Menopause Understanding the Spectrum of Symptoms

Hot Flashes and Night Sweats:

• Hot flashes, characterized by sudden feelings of heat, flushing, and sweating, are one of the hallmark symptoms of menopause. They can occur spontaneously or be triggered by stress, caffeine, alcohol, or spicy foods. Night sweats, which are hot flashes that occur during sleep, can disrupt sleep patterns and contribute to fatigue.
