What Causes Hot Flashes and Night Sweats
Women experience hot flashes when changing estrogen levels impact the hypothalamus, the area of your brain that controls body temperature. The result is a sudden feeling of warmth, often with flushing and sweating, which at night result in night sweats and sleep disruptions.
Hot flashes can last anywhere from a few months to many years and impact not just your sleep but your mood and ability to focus. There are treatment options available, though.
Understanding the Bigger Picture
- Hot flashes and night sweats are driven by estrogen changes affecting temperature regulation.
- They are common, can persist for years, and are often very treatable.
- Both hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options are available.
- Care begins with lab work and a full review of your symptoms and history.
- Women in Massachusetts can access care via telehealth.
Treatment Options for Hot Flashes
Hormonal Options
For appropriate candidates, hormone therapy, including bioidentical hormone therapy, can be especially effective for treating hot flashes and night sweats. Whether it is the right choice depends on your lab results, symptoms, and risk factors.
Non-Hormonal Options
When hormone therapy isn’t the right fit, there are non-hormonal approaches and lifestyle changes that can help you reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flashes and night sweats. Your plan is chosen around your full picture.

“Working with Arcara Access has been such a great experience. Their personalized, holistic approach to perimenopause/menopause really made a difference for me. I finally feel like I have my energy and balance back, and it’s all thanks to the support and care they provide.
They really take the time to listen and understand what you’re going through. It’s not one-size-fits-all—it actually feels tailored to me. I feel better, sleep better, and just feel more like myself again. Highly recommend!
Amanda Barry
“Arcara Access has been wonderful in tailoring a custom holistic approach in my wellness journey covering all bases with nutrition, supplements and hormone balance. In contrast to the big telehealth woman’s wellness companies, Kim takes the time to listen to the patient, their symptoms and doesn’t go by a ‘one size fits all’ approach. I noticed improvements in my symptoms and energy levels immediately and my Oura ring reported better sleep and lower body temp fluctuations in the first two nights following the start of my new program. I saw real measurable results! Highly recommend this provider and practice.
