Hot Flashes Are Not Something to "Tough Out”!Almost 80% of women experience hot flashes and contrary to popular belief, those flashes typically last 7 to 10 years. The impact on work, sleep, sexuality, and quality of life is irrefutable. Even if you are willing to spend years dressing in layers and being exhausted, what is now appreciated is that the impact of hot flashes goes far beyond the misery of feeling like you are in a sauna. There is scientific evidence that hot flashes increase the risk of developing heart disease and other serious medical conditions. ◆Hot Flash Hell: A gynecologist’s guide to turning down the heat, will walk you through everything you need to know about what to expect, how to know if you are in perimenopause or menopause, and all of your options to alleviate those all day, all night surges of heat.
