Menopausal Hot Flashes - What Can Be Done

Article Category: Medicines and Remedies

Author Name: Gina Smith

Hot flashes are standard during perimenopause and menopause. Menopause simply implies that a female has stopped having a period for a year and it signals the end of her reproductive years. The hot flashes that accompany menopause are the outcome of the changes in hormone levels when the ovaries stop releasing estrogen into the body. They can range in severity from a slight "warming" feeling to an intense, almost suffocating heat.

Menopausal hot flashes are reported more often among American and other women in the Western countries than in Asia. Some think that this could be owing to the volume of soy that Asian women consume. Soy contains compounds known as phytoestrogens that mimic estrogen in your body and might help to ease the hot flashes and other signs that come as a female's body is going through "the change." Other foods that are a good source of phytoestrogens include flaxseeds, whole grain breads and cereals, and nuts.

While menopause is not considered a disease, women whose symptoms are particularly bothersome often go to their doctors and seek treatments that include hormone replacement therapy. Owing to the risks involved in hormone replacement therapy, still, many women opt for natural treatments and way of life changes instead.

There are several testimonials for controlling menopausal symptoms. Slimming down has been shown to help some women reduce the severity and frequency of the hot flashes. It appears that the extra pounds makes it harder for the body to relax in the middle of the hot flash. Some have even suggested that the overweight woman's higher estrogen levels may exacerbate hot flashes.

Another recommendation for ladies coping with hot flashes is to wear layers of loose clothing that might be peeled off as the hot flashes start. Women going through menopausal hot flashes are also advised to avoid wool, silks and synthetics because these fabrics do not breathe and can make the heat seem worse. Cotton and linen are among the fabrics that are good to wear if going through hot flashes.

Some foods actually trigger hot flashes in women. Spicy foods, hot drinks and caffeine should be ignored and replaced with cooler drinks and foods. Ice water has proven itself particularly good for cooling the body during a hot flash.

While it is essential to shed weight if a lady is overweight during menopause, diet pills are another trigger that should be ignored. Modifications in diet and exercise will help the hot flashes along with other symptoms that accompany menopause. It will help lift the mood and aid women in getting more sleep. Yet, if exercise is not enough to help slim down, stress can be one of the offending elements to find fault for gain in weight. Stress is also a hot flash trigger, so relaxation is significant. Deep breathing, meditating and stretching out are among the best techniques of relieving stress. Another way to relieve stress is getting a massage. Taking time out to look after herself ought to be a female's top priority as she endeavors to cope with hot flashes and other menopausal signs.
