Hot Flashes are upon the most common symptoms during menopause. They are categorized as feelings of intense heat, warm skin, and sweating. These hot flashes can become very uncomfortable and make it that much more difficult to accomplish day-to-day activities.Hot flashes and night sweats often have to do with adrenals (cortisol, the stress hormone). During menopause, hormone imbalances increase the body’s stress internally.
SALIVA TEST RECOMMENDED
We recommend getting cortisol levels checked when doing a saliva test for your female hormone panel. You cannot get cortisol checked in blood (serum) because you need 4 samples throughout the day to see what is really going on.

Normally, the walls of the vagina stay lubricated with a thin layer of clear fluid. The hormone estrogen helps maintain that fluid and keeps the lining of the vagina healthy, thick, and elastic. During menopause, the reduction in estrogen levels limits the amount of moisture available. It also makes the vagina thinner and less elastic (called vaginal atrophy).
In addition to menopause, estrogen levels can drop from:
- Childbirth and breastfeeding
- Radiation or chemotherapy treatment for cancer
- Surgical removal of the ovaries
- Anti-estrogen medications used to treat uterine fibroids or endometriosis
