Why it matters :

Hot flashes are not just a nuisance—they are one of the most common and disruptive symptoms of the menopause transition:

  • Hot flashes can significantly affect quality of life, interrupting sleep, increasing anxiety, and interfering with work and daily functioning.

  • The frequency and severity of hot flashes vary widely, but many women experience them multiple times a day for several years.

  • Left unmanaged, these symptoms may lead to chronic fatigue, mood disturbances, and even avoidance of physical or social activity.

Recognizing hot flashes as a legitimate health concern is crucial to improving midlife women's wellness.
