Hot flashes can be caused by various factors like menopause, stress, and hormone changes, leading to sudden intense heat waves. They can be triggered by changes in estrogen levels during menopause, perimenopause, or pregnancy. While hot flashes typically last between one to five minutes, they can persist for up to nine years. Managing triggers, keeping cool, dressing in layers, staying hydrated, and seeking professional treatments like hormone replacement therapy or nonhormonal medications can help prevent and reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes.
