Hot flashes in 41 year old.

Hello, I am 41 years old female. What should I do to stop night sweats? It could be because of menopause or perimenopause symptoms. Please tell me what should I do? I don't have any other symptoms and my periods are regular. Then what might be causing hot flashes? Please help!

@ridib Hello, Hot flashes are the quick bursts of hot skin and often drenching sweat During the 40s this is when most women start perimenopause. Some hot flashes and night sweats begin. The exact causes of hot flashes are still unknown, but they are thought to be related to changes in the brain’s thermoregulatory center, which controls heat production and loss, and is influenced by your hormones. During perimenopause, hormones start acting like a rollercoaster, with progesterone and estrogen levels changing in wide variations. These ups and downs don’t settle down until almost 10 years after menopause. Since hormone levels are changing all the time so some lifestyle changes need to be there but if that doesn’t work, talk to your gynecologist about prescription medication. Lifestyle changes like Keep Yourself Cool, and avoiding Triggers may help. Thank You!!
