For some women, hot flashes and night sweats come and go and are completely manageable.<\/p>\n<p>For others, <strong>they are intense and interfere with the quality of life<\/strong>. Do you fit into the latter category? Again you are not alone.<\/p>\n<p>Read on to learn about hormonal imbalance symptoms and the causes of hot flashes and night sweats. Learn how you can treat them at home or with the assistance of your doctor.<\/p>\n<h2>Don&#8217;t Be Afraid of Menopause<\/h2>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nia.nih.gov\/health\/what-menopause\">National Institute of Ageing<\/a>, it&#8217;s a normal stage of life that generally occurs between 45-55 years of age and can last for 7-14 years. Surgery or chemotherapy can also cause menopause in some women.<\/p>\n<h2>Hot Flashes and Night Sweats are Normal<\/h2>\n<p>They occur before and during menopause because of changes in hormone levels. When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/277177.php\">estrogen<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/277737.php\">progesterone<\/a> levels change, other hormones that are responsible for regulating the body&#8217;s temperature are impacted.<\/p>\n<p>This causes the feelings of <strong>sudden warmth, flushing, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/182130.php\">excessive sweating<\/a><\/strong>, commonly referred to as hot flashes.<\/p>\n<h3>Hot Flash From the Inside Out<\/h3>\n<p>You already know the drill but here\u2019s what a hot flash looks like from the inside out:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The portions of your brain that control body temperature react to changes in the level of hormones in your blood.<\/li>\n<li>Then your brain&#8217;s insular cortex, which controls perceptions of heat, cold, pain and pleasure, wakes up.<\/li>\n<li>Your core body temperature begins to rise.<\/li>\n<li>Your skin temperature rises, and your body prepares to rid itself of the extra heat by dilating vessels and moving your blood.<\/li>\n<li>You may feel dizzy, anxious, or your heart may race.<\/li>\n<li>You feel intensely hot on the upper third of your body.<\/li>\n<li>Here\u2019s where the sweats arrive:\u00a0 your sweat glands prepare to cool you down.<\/li>\n<li>You become flush because blood rushes to the skin across your chest, neck, and face.<\/li>\n<li>Now your sweat glands produce sweat full throttle.<\/li>\n<li>Heat shoots out of your arms, torso, legs, and face as the blood vessels fully dilate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What Can You Do to Prevent Hot Flashes and Night Sweats?<\/h3>\n<p>Many women learn to deal with hot flashes and night sweats and can live a healthy life with them; for other women, <strong>they can be quite disturbing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of home remedies that you can try before moving on to medication. But if your symptoms are severe, give yourself a break and talk to your doctor.<\/p>\n<h2>Home Remedies and Lifestyle Changes<\/h2>\n<p>Remember, it can take time for these types of remedies to be effective\u2014 and for you to get into the routine of regularly applying them.<\/p>\n<p>Take notes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What time of day did the flash occur?<\/li>\n<li>What have you had to eat or drink in the hour before the flash?<\/li>\n<li>Did you get adequate sleep the night before?<\/li>\n<li>How much exercise have you gotten in today?<\/li>\n<li>What is your level of stress or anxiety?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nia.nih.gov\/health\/hot-flashes-what-can-i-do\">National Institute of Ageing<\/a>, common triggers of hot flashes and night sweats include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alcohol<\/li>\n<li>Spicy food<\/li>\n<li>Caffeine<\/li>\n<li>Smoking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tips for Hormonal Imbalance Symptoms<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Give yourself up to three months of consistent application<\/strong> before you judge whether they are working or not. Let\u2019s start with some very straightforward tips:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Become aware of your triggers and avoid them<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Wear light clothes or dress in layers so you can remove them when a hot flash strikes.<\/li>\n<li>Keep a fan beside the bed.<\/li>\n<li>Keep the room temperature low.<\/li>\n<li>Open windows and use a fan or air conditioner to keep air circulating in the room.<\/li>\n<li>Take a cool shower during the day and before bed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Run cool water over the wrists<\/strong>. There are many blood vessels in the wrists, so this may be a good way to cool off quickly.<\/li>\n<li>Keep a healthy weight. Hot flashes can be more frequent and severe if you are overweight or obese. Keep a healthy weight by doing regular exercise and having an active lifestyle.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Relax and reduce stress<\/strong>. Breathing and meditation practices can help relieve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/145855.php\">stress<\/a> and reduce hot flashes.<\/li>\n<li>Choose a diet free of processed foods.\u00a0 Eat whole foods with at least five servings of vegetables and two servings of fruit each day.<\/li>\n<li>Try meditation. Research from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3123409\/\">2011<\/a> suggests that mindfulness may reduce how much women are bothered from hot flashes and night sweats.<\/li>\n<li>Drink water. General recommendations for water intake are half your body weight in ounces, every day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exercise<\/strong>. The endorphins will help alleviate symptoms associated with menopause.<\/li>\n<li>If you smoke, get the help you need to quit.\u00a0 Smokers\u2019 menopausal symptoms are often stronger and more troublesome.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>There&#8217;s Hope with BHRT<\/h2>\n<p>For those of you who have already tried it all and need extra help, there are solutions!\u00a0 A visit with your medical doctor will help you better understand each option and how they would work for you.<\/p>\n<p>When you do talk with your doctor, make sure you talk about Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy (BHRT). <strong>BHRT is a natural alternative to synthetic hormone treatments<\/strong> that often don\u2019t provide the relief you are looking for. So if you have been taking synthetic treatments and they aren\u2019t working for you, there is still hope.<\/p>\n<h3>What Is BHRT?<\/h3>\n<p>BHRT is a natural alternative to synthetic hormone replacement therapies. Subcutaneous bio-identical hormone replacement therapy uses hormones derived from <strong>natural, plant-based substances that are identical to the ones that occur in your body<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike synthetic hormones, the structure of the bio-identical hormone \u2013 testosterone, estrogen, or both \u2013 closely matches each patient\u2019s individual needs. Since they are derived from nature, plant-based hormones metabolize in the body, just the way nature intended.<\/p>\n<h3>Hormone Replicas<\/h3>\n<p>You may have heard of, or even tried, synthetic hormones. Bio-identical hormones are replicas of hormones your body already produces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Synthetic hormones are not molecularly identical<\/strong>. Did you know that synthetic hormones are composed of either horse urine or mass-produced artificially formulated hormones?<\/p>\n<p>And that manufacturers deliberately create synthetic hormones that are slightly different than natural human hormones to patent those formulations?<\/p>\n<h3>Hormone Therapy Is Not Scary<\/h3>\n<p>Hormone therapy need not be scary or overwhelming. At EvexiPEL, <strong>we use an advanced treatment option that employs hormone pellets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This is a natural alternative to synthetic hormone replacement therapies. Subcutaneous hormone pellets use natural, plant-based extracts that are compatible with your body\u2019s biological makeup.<\/p>\n<h3>What Would a BHRT Using Hormone Pellets Look Like?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Bio-identical hormones are derived from plants, giving you an all-natural solution.<\/li>\n<li>Your dose will be determined based on your needs according to blood tests.<\/li>\n<li>Hormone pellets are placed in the fatty tissue under the skin where they release small, physiologic doses of bioidentical hormones. These pellets can be as small as a grain of rice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The pellets release small amounts of bioidentical hormones into your bloodstream<\/strong> over the next three to five months, depending on the determined course of treatment, and will provide consistent treatment during that time.<\/li>\n<li>Improvements can be seen within the first two weeks, but eight weeks is necessary to feel the full effects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Plant-Based Pellets<\/h3>\n<p>You may feel uncomfortable with the idea of <a href=\"https:\/\/c1mdevsite.com\/evexipel.com\/what-is-bhrt\/\">BHRT<\/a> at first but consider this: practitioners have performed plant-based pellet implants since the early 1900s.<\/p>\n<p>And <strong>recent studies revealed natural hormones might be safer and more effective than synthetics<\/strong>, which has caused a resurgence in the number of practitioners offering hormone pellet therapy.<\/p>\n<h2>Contact Us Today<\/h2>\n<p>At EvexiPEL, <strong>our team of BHRT experts has fine-tuned their integrated approach to pellet therapy<\/strong>.
