Hot flashes and night sweats start when progesterone drops while estrogen is still high during perimenopause. They can last up to 10 years if they begin while periods continue, but only one to two years after menopause ends. Early-onset flashes often happen right before, during, or after your period.

Chapters

In this video, I wanted to talk a little bit about hot flashes and night sweats that occur with perimenopause. These can start when you're still making estrogen, but progesterone levels may have declined. If hot flashes occur earlier on while you're still having periods, they can last for up to 10 years, whereas if they start later on, for example, once you reach menopause, they may only last one to two years. If you're having hot flashes earlier on, they will most likely occur just before, during or after your period. Stay tuned for my coming videos where I'll talk about some strategies to help you mitigate hot flashes. Bye for now.
