BellaOnline Forums Health and Fitness Menopause Hot Flashes

Personally I am looking forward to the cooler temps. The nights have gone down to 50 and I keep my windows open, hoping to catch a breeze. (The days are still in the 80's so the house has not had the opportunity to cool down - so I'm still using my fams)

Hot flashes are one of the most common symptoms of menopause. It is also one of the most irritating and burdensome symptoms that affect menopausal women. Hormone replacement therapy is still the best treatment for menopausal symptoms. However, many women choose not to undergo hormone replacement therapy because it increases the risk of heart disease and breast cancer. Also, many women prefer natural treatment to minimize side effects.
