Feeling of heat and redness of the face, after which often begins increased sweating - all this characterizes the tides. But not only in the period of the emergence of menopause a woman can be disturbed by such violations. What are the causes of hot flashes during menstruation? Whether it is necessary to worry strongly and how it is possible to normalize the status?
reasons tides
Hot flashes are characterized by sudden appearancefeelings of heat and redness of the face, neck and chest area. This condition can also be accompanied by increased blood pressure, palpitations, unpleasant sensations behind the sternum, trembling, anxiety, etc. This in most cases interferes with the normal life of a woman. Attacks can be repeated with absolutely different frequency - from once a month to 20 - 30 per day.
Climax
During the onset of menopause, hot flashes are associated in a woman with an estrogen deficiency. Insufficient amount is due to a decrease in the function of the ovaries, where the bulk of sex hormones is formed. And often women with excessive body weight do not feel such manifestations so much. This is due to the fact that fatty tissue is an additional source of estrogens.
Due to the fact that with a decrease in the work of the ovaries there is a deficiency of sex hormones, according to the feedback principle, the pituitary and hypothalamus react to it. They send constant signals to increase the production of estrogens. As a result, in the next peak of the release of active substances into the blood, the peripheral blood vessels expand and the blood flow along them increases. There is a classical tide clinic.
As a result - the body temperature drops slightly due to the loss of a large amount of heat. That's why a woman feels heat first, and then it becomes cool.
Often attacks of heat are accompanied by other visible, and also sensible only for the woman symptoms - redness, increased sweating, etc.
In addition to the tides, the imminent onset of menopause will be indicated by the following symptoms:
- Dryness in the vagina, discomfort and even soreness during sexual intercourse. This is also due to the deficiency of estrogens, which are responsible for secretion and the resumption of the epithelium. To cope with these conditions help different candles and ointments. Often they contain a small amount of estrogen.
- Women also note various difficulties with falling asleep. Often in the evening before that, they become irritable, sharpen their attention to minor problems, worry for no apparent reason. Coping with such conditions is not always easy, sometimes you have to resort to the help of serious sleeping pills.
- When menopause occurs in women, there is a decrease in sexual desire. This is due to the decrease in the content of sex hormones in the blood.
- Often begins to disturb the dryness of all mucous membranes. This causes discomfort in the eyes, problems with urination, digestion, swallowing of poorly moistened food, etc.
- The figure of women is also changing. Due to the decrease in the intensity of metabolism, while maintaining the old way of life, "a couple of extra pounds" come ".Also, the skin, nails and hair lose vitality, fade and become less attractive.

The lack of sex hormones
Often, estrogen deficiency can occur in women and for other reasons. With a significant violation of the function of the ovaries, early menopause is formed.
Similar conditions often occur after the removal of foci of endometriosis. Especially if they were located on the ovaries, as well as when removing cysts, after surgical treatment of apoplexy, etc. And after manipulation can take up to 5 - 10 years. Sometimes such phenomena are called "exhaustion of the ovaries."
Similar occurs when two ovaries are removed immediately or after chemotherapy, irradiation, which is performed with malignant tumors. In this case it is a post-stroke syndrome.
Usually, after some time after the surgical treatment or serious hormonal interventions, a woman begins to notice symptoms similar to menopausal ones. Their intensity varies and depends both on the properties of the organism itself and on part of the still functioning ovary. The main thing is to suspect violations at the right time, as young women need competent hormone replacement therapy before reaching the age of menopause. In the absence of such treatment, their quality of life is lower compared to healthy ones.
Vegeto-vascular dystonia
If a girl develops hot flashes during her period, the reasons for this may be hidden in vegetovascular dystonia. In this case, unpleasant sensations of heat, sweating and palpitations often appear on other days of the cycle. Most girls report such seizures at the time of supposed ovulation, as well as on the eve of menstruation.
Vegetative crises are accompanied by a feeling of lack of air, various panic attacks, there is a pulsation of blood vessels throughout the body, etc. More often such attacks are provoked by stress, bad state of health, illness, etc.
