Hot Flashes
Hot flashes are a symptom many people associate with pregnancy or menopause. The reason hot flashes are common during these stages is a shift in hormonal balance. Progesterone increases dramatically during pregnancy and decreases during menopause.
Experiencing hot flashes outside of pregnancy or menopause may indicate low progesterone. Hormonal imbalances with low progesterone, high estrogen or both can trigger a flushed feeling. This symptom is commonly felt at night but can happen at any time.
