Menopausal women: Is there such a thing as a warm flash?!
Question: Menopausal women: Is there such a thing as a warm flash!?
I'm in the right age group for menopause, but still menstruating!. Lately, I've been having temperature control problems, but well short of anything I could call a hot flash!. When it happens, my neck and scalp sweat lightly and I can't tell whether it's because it's too warm or if it's just me!.
It occurred to me that maybe hot flashes aren't all-or-nothing!. Maybe there are warm flashes and that's what I'm getting!.
Has anyone else had this experience!? If so, I'm interested to know how long it lasted, whether it developed into hot flashes, etc!.
Thanks for reading my question!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
You're in peri-menopause!. Your periods will start to become irregular, and you will be in menopause once you've gone a full year without having a period!. Hot flushes can range from mild to severe, so what you're experiencing is not uncommon!. You should talk to you doctor about your options (ET or HT) if they start to interrupt your "quality of life!."Www@Answer-Health@Com
