Hot flashes are one of the most common symptoms women experience during menopause.

For some women, they are occasional and mild. For others, they can occur multiple times a day and significantly affect comfort, sleep, and confidence.

If you've ever suddenly felt a wave of heat spread through your body, followed by sweating or discomfort, you've experienced what many women describe as a hot flash.

The good news is that understanding your triggers and making small lifestyle adjustments may help reduce their frequency and intensity.
