Understanding Hot Flashes

Understanding Hot Flashes

Hot flashes can be one of the most distressing problems that women face when going through menopause. Many women find that their hot flashes reduce and their night sweats diminish with estrogen supplementation only to be replaced with the estrogen dominant symptoms of anxiety, depression, palpitations, loss of confidence, mood changes and irritability. This is simply because supplementing estrogen without balancing the effects with natural progesterone increases the underlying hormonal imbalance. Remember, menopause is the time when ovulation ceases and if there is no ovaluation there is NO progesterone production.

Many women find that at the time of menopause, supplementing progesterone rather than estrogen improves the estrogen dominant symptoms. As well as providing relief from hot flashes and night sweats, it narrows the imbalance between the hormones. Progesterone provides a balance to the lack of naturally produced progesterone due to the cessation of ovulation at menopause.
