Perimenopause is something that every woman goes through at a certain stage of her life and therefore it is nothing to be afraid of. The symptoms associated with this very natural condition (hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety) are also common among women and there are many ways to overcome their potential influence over your otherwise very normal and content life. However, first understanding what brings about these changes in your body is the best way to proceed.One of the more testing symptom of perimenopause are the night flashes (which occur in the night, as the name suggests). Many efforts have been made to determine the causes of these sweaty episodes. They can be best explained in terms of the instability of your hormonal composition that confuses the brain into making the wrong decisions for your body.
