Definitions for "HOT FLASHES"
A sudden wave of mild or intense body heat caused by rushes of hormonal changes resulting from decreased levels of estrogen. Hot flashes can occur at any time and may last from a few seconds to a half-hour. They are due to blood vessel opening and constricting, and are a symptom of menopause. A hot flash is a feeling of warmth, sometimes associated with flushing that spreads over the body and sometimes followed by perspiration.
Hot flashes are a common symptom of menopause, sometimes occurring much earlier than any other menopause symptoms. Hot flashes can vary in severity and can happen several times an hour or as little as once a week.
A vasomotor symptom characterized by transient hot sensations that involve chiefly the upper part of the thorax, neck and head. They are frequently followed by sweats and are associated with cessation or diminution in ovarian secretion of estrogen.
