Tips for hot flushes please.
Please give tips for hot flushes ? I always feel the heat even when it’s cold. I wear summer clothes all year round, always sweating, I sleep with an air cooler, fan, window aircon on and no clothes on and still can cool down. I also have PCOS. Period only around 4 times a year once a season. What can I do to help. I also have cooling towels and portable fans everywhere I go.

I’m the same as you, & the only things I’ve felt that have helped is cutting out spicy food, alcohol, & caffeine, & I wear sleeveless tops & dresses, & I never leave the house without my little battery operated fan, & my little spray bottle filled with water. I keep them both in my hand bag, & i spray my face with water, then use my fan.
Hello 🙂 The first-line recommended treatment for symptoms such as hot flushes is regulated Body-identical HRT. You can find out more here: https://www.menopause.org.au/health-info (assuming you're in 🇦🇺 ) These symptoms are caused by falling and fluctuating oestrogen levels, so topping up with naturally derived body identical oestrogen is helpful. The new formulations are very low risk for most people most of the time. Other options are available, and other things can be done, but menopause hormone therapy is the most effective way to deal with symptoms and help to protect your future health and wellbeing where symptoms are problematic 🩷
