They have arrived, and their name is hot flashes! The good news is that they only last a few minutes, but they can come back again several times a day. Movement helps improve blood circulation and enables you to tolerate changes in temperature better. Always carry a fan with you – this little feminine affectation comes in very handy! Follow a healthy diet and reduce smoking. Dress in layers, choosing clothing that is easy to take off the moment that blaze hits you (light T-shirts and blouses, open sweaters, etc.), and that is made of natural fabrics that absorb sweat. Try to avoid hot baths as well. Learn to relax and take it easy; tension worsens hot flashes.
Just keep in mind that they are a passing symptom, sure to disappear. If they are too intense, however, ask your gynecologist for advice.
