Menopause night sweats refer to the powerful and disruptive nocturnal hot flashes that occur during menopause. The intensity of night sweats can range from mild flushing to profuse sweating. Women may also experience an unexplained fever during menopausal night sweats. These symptoms last much longer than typical day time hot flashes, often continuing all night long.
Menopause night sweats are believed to be caused by the hormonal changes that occur during the transition into menopause. As female reproductive hormones decline, they cause a variety of body changes that can manifest in the form of night sweats.
The length of time a woman will experience menopausal night sweats varies depending on her specific case and can last for 1-2 years or longer. In general, most women will begin to see relief from their night sweats within 6 months after their final period has ended however this timeline is not set in stone as every woman's experience is different.
It is important to speak with your physician if you find yourself dealing with disruptive levels of hot flashes or if you are struggling with sleeping due to frequent awakenings associated with extreme heat sensations caused by your night sweat episodes then it may be wise to seek proper medical attention to discuss potential treatments options available to you; such as those listed above or any other specialized treatments catered towards your personal needs as every person is different!
