   Are night sweats a symptom of menopause?

   • Night sweats are hot flashes that happen at night, and they may disrupt your sleep. Although other medical conditions can cause them, hot flashes most commonly are due to menopause — the time when menstrual periods become irregular and eventually stop. In fact, hot flashes are the most common symptom of the menopausal transition.

   Do night sweats go away after menopause?

   • Night sweats go away for most people a few years after menopause starts. Sometimes, though, they don’t go away. Night sweats that linger well into postmenopause (the period after menopause) usually become less severe over time. Can stress cause night sweats?

   How do you get rid of night sweats during menopause?

   • Treatment depends on what’s causing your night sweats. For menopause-related night sweats, hormone therapy — estrogen alone or with progestin — may be an option. Hormone therapy can also help with other symptoms of menopause, including bone loss and vaginal dryness.

   Hot flashes are most commonly caused by changing hormone levels before, during and after menopause. It's not clear exactly how hormonal changes cause hot flashes. But most research suggests that hot flashes occur when decreased estrogen levels cause your body's thermostat (hypothalamus) to become more sensitive to slight changes in body temperature. When the hypothalamus thinks your body is too warm, it starts a chain of events — a hot flash — to cool you down.

   Rarely, hot flashes and nights sweats are caused by something other than menopause. Other potential causes include medication side effects, problems with your thyroid, certain cancers and side effects of cancer treatment.

   Not all women who go through menopause have hot flashes, and it's not clear why some women do have them. Factors that may increase your risk include:

   •Smoking. Women who smoke are more likely to get hot flashes.

   •Obesity. A high body mass index (BMI) is associated with a higher frequency of hot flashes.

   •Race. More black women report having hot flashes during menopause than do women of other races. Hot flashes are reported least frequently in Asian women.

   Hot flashes may impact your daily activities and quality of life. Nighttime hot flashes (night sweats) can wake you from sleep and, over time, can cause long-term sleep disruptions.

   Research suggests that women who have hot flashes may have an increased risk of heart disease and greater bone loss than women who do not have hot flashes.
