Hot flashes, also known as "hot flushes" are momentary sensations of heat that may be accompanied by a red, flushed face and excessive sweating. The cause of hot flashes in menopausal women is the fluctuating estrogen levels. This makes the blood vessels dilate, a condition which causes more blood than normal to rush throughout the body. As a result of the unexpected and abrupt increase in the amount of blood pumping through the body, intense heat is produced in the upper half of the body. The blood vessels that are near the surface of the skin will then dilate to cool off, and this results in red, flushed skin. This also usually leads to intense perspiration as the body is trying to cool down.
