Only 40 and having night sweats!
Q: Sometimes I wake up at night soaking wet and cold. My friend told me it is probably night sweats (night-time hot flashes), but I'm only 40. Does this mean I will have an early menopause?
Night sweats, or hot flashes that occur at night, are quite common in early perimenopause, and are often one of the first symptoms that women experience. It is normal for hormones to begin to change around age 40, and for women to begin to experience some symptoms of hormonal change such as night sweats or hot flashes. Most women who have early perimenopausal symptoms experience menopause at the average age of 50-51. Night sweats and hot flashes are due to a variety of hormonal changes, not just to low estrogen.
