Want to know some interesting statistics of Hot Flashes?
Hot flashes may begin as early as two years before the cessation of a woman’s monthly period and can continue up to five years after the cessation of menses. Studies show that on average a woman will experience hot flashes for four years while she goes through menopause. Her hot flashes will vary in their severity throughout those years. Statistically, the faster you go through menopause, the more intense your hot flashes are. Women that take longer to completely stop having a period may experience hot flashes for a longer period of time, but they usually aren’t as severe as the woman that finishes menopause in less than two years. Hot flashes statistically seem to be more common in African American women than in Caucasian, Asian, or Latino women. Studies have found that Mayan Indian women tend to report no hot flash symptoms associated with menopause.
