I can so relate! I’m 39 with MS so they don’t know if I’m in perimenopause or if it’s my multiple sclerosis. Either way cooling towels and neck fans are life now. Another user added.
What causes menopause hot flashes?
Menopause marks the end of a woman’s reproductive years, bringing about various symptoms, including hot flashes. According to British health insurance provider Bupa, hot flashes typically involve a “sudden feeling of heat spreading through your body and face.” Symptoms may include:
– Red flush across the chest, neck, and face
– Head sweating
– Mood changes and difficulty concentrating
These symptoms can vary widely but often become intense and uncomfortable, impacting daily life for many.
The realities of Menopause
The response to Monique’s video underscores a need for more widespread understanding of menopause symptoms. Hot flashes, mood changes, and concentration difficulties can significantly impact daily routines and relationships.
With increased visibility of real-life experiences, more people can gain empathy and understanding. This knowledge can lead to better support systems, allowing women to navigate menopause with less frustration and misunderstanding.
Tracey Monique’s video offers a candid look at one of menopause’s most challenging symptoms. The reactions from viewers highlight a growing need for awareness and empathy, especially among those who might not otherwise understand these symptoms.
As conversations about menopause continue, greater understanding is essential. It can help support those navigating this natural phase of life
