Hot Flashes Q & A

What Causes Hot Flashes in Menopause?

Hot flashes are primarily caused by hormonal fluctuations during menopause. As estrogen levels decline, the body’s internal thermostat, regulated by the hypothalamus, becomes more sensitive to even small changes in body temperature. This sensitivity can trigger a hot flash as the body attempts to cool down. While most women begin experiencing hot flashes in the years leading up to menopause—also known as perimenopause—some may continue having symptoms well into postmenopause. The duration and frequency of hot flashes can vary from person to person, but they often last for several years. At Women’s Health Domain, we offer comprehensive menopause treatment that focuses on understanding and treating your symptoms at the root cause.

Managing Hot Flashes During Menopause with Austin’s Leading Doctors in Austin, TX

If you’re struggling with persistent hot flashes, know that effective treatment is available. Our providers at Women’s Health Domain take a personalized approach to menopause care. After evaluating your symptoms and overall health, we may recommend hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which is one of the most effective ways to relieve hot flashes. We offer bioidentical hormone therapy customized to your body’s needs, helping restore hormonal balance and reduce symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and more.

For women who cannot or choose not to use hormones, there are non-hormonal options available. These may include lifestyle modifications, dietary adjustments, or prescription medications like SSRIs and SNRIs, which have been shown to reduce hot flash frequency and severity. In some cases, natural remedies or mind-body therapies such as acupuncture or mindfulness can also provide relief. At your menopause consultation, we’ll review all options and help you decide the right path forward.

The Importance of Early Menopause Evaluation

Hot flashes may seem normal with aging, but they can seriously affect your quality of life. That’s why early evaluation and diagnosis are essential. If you’re beginning to notice symptoms like sudden warmth, sleep disturbances, or mood shifts, it’s vital to schedule an appointment with one of our board-certified OB/GYNs. Our team offers compassionate and evidence-based menopause treatment in Austin, TX, and surrounding areas.

We also encourage patients to explore our Menopause Services page to learn more about related concerns such as perimenopause, vaginal dryness, and bone health. Each woman’s experience is unique, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
