Why Does Menopause Cause Hot Flashes and Night Sweats?

Menopause or even perimenopause occurs when the body begins shutting down the menstrual cycle, usually when the ovaries have run out of eggs for ovulation. During this time, menopause symptoms start by levels of follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) change, along with estradiol, testosterone, and progesterone. These hormone fluctuations can cause increased heart rate, even palpitations, which raises the body’s core temperature. The blood vessels close to the surface of the skin dilate in an effort to release heat and maintain normal temperature. In turn, the apocrine sweat glands pump out sweat to help the body cool off. Since estrogen levels are lowest during sleep it’s not uncommon to experience hot flashes at night, complete with sheets soaked from sweat. The heart palpitations and heat that cause unbearable night sweats will wake you up, and all you can do is throw back the blankets and crank up your fan to its highest setting. Menopause usually occurs between the ages of 40 and 50. Before surgery, physicians usually try hormone therapy, after that, surgery is required. However, when someone undergoes a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) or salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of fallopian tubes and ovaries) this can trigger early menopause and hot flashes. Their symptoms will be just the same as if they had entered perimenopause naturally, complete with hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, palpitations, and sudden mood changes. Fortunately, Monray Antiperspirant is proven to help curb that excessive sweat caused by menopause and indirectly hot flashes. Just roll or spray it on and enjoy clean, dry skin. Monray antiperspirant is the strongest antiperspirant against the menopause symptoms associated with the side effects of menopause. It should be noted, menopause is a issue with almost all women and should be discusses with your physician. You will want a complete examination, to rule out estrogen related issues, breast cancer or other medical conditions. The menopause transition takes on different time tables, so make sure you use a antiperspirant that takes care of sweat, odor and irritabilities that flare up. With all you have to worry about, at least you can stop the sweating with Monray.
