What is the definition or description of: hot flashes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hot flashes: Hot flashes are extremely common as women approach menopause. These are in some way related to a decrease in estrogen production which causes instability of the 'thermoregulatory' centers in the brain. They can be debilitating, and they can be treated and managed.
