Additional Information

Hot flashes are sudden bursts of intense sweating and skin hot to the touch, associated with menopause and perimenopause for women as early as 40. These flashes can last anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. These bursts can cause fatigue, irritability, and forgetfulness. The face and neck may turn red, and the heart rate will increase, causing increased sweating. Women may face up to 10 to 15 years of living with hot flashes.

Birthday cards for women reaching their late 40s feature jokes and cartoons centered around hot flash humor. Referring to hot flashes as “power surges” pokes fun at the side effects of growing older while simultaneously empowering women as they age.
