Can hot flushes happen multiple times per day?
Yes, hot flushes can occur several times a day, and the frequency varies widely from person to person. Some women experience them more than 10 times per day.
Detailed Medical Explanation
The number of hot flushes per day is highly individual and can be affected by stress, temperature, food, and hormonal changes. Some women report flushes every hour, while others may only experience them occasionally. If flushes disrupt daily life or sleep, seek advice from a healthcare provider. See the NHS menopause page for more detail.
Clinical Context
Frequent hot flushes can impact wellbeing, mood, and productivity. Keeping a symptom diary may help identify patterns and triggers.
Evidence-Based Approaches
NICE and NHS recognise that hot flushes may be infrequent or occur many times daily. If symptoms are troublesome, seek support for management options. NICE menopause guidance.
