Can hot flushes follow menstrual cycle patterns?

Yes, in perimenopause, hot flushes can become more frequent just before, during, or after a period due to hormonal fluctuations. Some women notice a clear cyclical pattern.

Clinical Context

Women may benefit from tracking both their cycles and flushes to better anticipate symptoms and adjust coping strategies.

Evidence-Based Approaches

NHS and menopause specialists recommend cycle and symptom diaries during perimenopause for more personalised care. See NICE menopause guidance.
