Can portable fans help with hot flushes at office?
Yes, small portable fans are an effective and discreet solution for managing hot flushes at work, helping you cool down quickly and maintain comfort throughout the day.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Portable fans—whether handheld, USB, or desk models—improve airflow and evaporate sweat, making them especially helpful in office environments where temperature may be less easily controlled. Many are quiet, lightweight, and battery powered for on-the-go relief. See NHS menopause workplace strategies.
