Hot flashes News

World Menopause Day is celebrated every year on the 18th of October The aim of the day is to raise awareness about menopause among people irrespective of their gender Menopausal symptoms include hot flashes (sudden waves of heat), night sweats, mood swings among other symptoms

Hot flashes are not just uncomfortable but can also be dangerous for the heart resulting in cardiovascular diseases, a leading cause of mortality in women.

The study found no correlation between the likelihood of reporting poor sleep before menopause, during menopause and after menopause.

Yoga was better than no treatment at reducing total menopause symptoms, anxiety related to symptoms, hot flashes and night sweats, and vaginal dryness and pain during sex, the study found.

Hot flashes -- a sudden feeling of feverish heat, typically as a symptom of the menopause -- have already been shown to interfere with a woman`s overall quality of life.

As per a new study, regular exercise can not only help in reducing weight but also control the bothersome symptoms such as hot flashes.

The findings showed that neither yoga nor aerobic exercises had a statistically significant effect on objective measures of sleep duration or sleep quality. 

Women who have gone through early menopause, either naturally or because they have had their ovaries removed are twice as likely to develop heart disease as women of the same age, who have not yet reached menopause.
