All symptoms

Hot flushes and night sweats

Sudden heat, sweating, and disturbed sleep are among the most recognised menopause-transition symptoms.

What it can feel like

Heat may come suddenly, last a short time, and be followed by sweating or chills. Night sweats can interrupt sleep and affect energy the next day.

What may help

Cooling strategies, sleep routines, stress reduction, and clinician-discussed treatments may help. Seek care if symptoms are severe or disrupting daily life.
