Perimenopause, why do you often sweat? Among them, hot flashes and sweating are quite typical perimenopausal symptoms. Imagine all of a sudden, a wave of heat from your chest, like a tidal wave, that instantly spreads to your face and heats up your whole body. This heat is not due to an increase in the outside temperature, but an inexplicable internal reaction. With this heat wave, your face is also flushed, and within a few seconds to dozens of minutes, sweat will quietly seep out. The most amazing thing is that this situation occurs day and night, without warning. After sweating, you will still feel a little cold, perhaps this is what the body is telling you: this is perimenopause, a sign of the gradual aging of the female reproductive system.
Traditional Chinese medicine has long had a saying that "women have a weak pulse, too many pulses are weak, the heavens are exhausted, the tunnels are impassable, so the shape is bad and childless", which refers to the various changes and transitions in the body of women around the age of 49. At this time, the kidney qi gradually weakens, and the celestial qi – that is, estrogen – also turns from prosperity to decline. At this stage, the slightest carelessness may cause various symptoms, such as sleep disorders, mood abnormalities, etc.
So how can this situation be mitigated? There are 4 ways to do this:
1. Try changing your usual Xi habits. Choose loose-fitting, cotton garments that not only absorb sweat but also make it easy to add or remove clothes on the go.
2. If your environment allows, it's also a good idea to lower the indoor temperature a little, such as around 24-25 degrees.
3. Maintaining an appropriate weight and exercising moderately is also necessary because exercise can effectively relieve the symptoms of hot flashes and sweating.
4. Eating Xi habits is also crucial. Try to stay away from irritating foods such as alcohol and coffee, and eat more mild foods to help you get through this special period.
When hot flashes and sweat harbingers hit, there's no need to panic. Take a deep breath, inhale slowly, deeply, and exhale slowly. It's as if you're savoring the breath and letting your body feel the process to the fullest. This deep breathing will not only help you calm down, but it will also temporarily relieve the symptoms of hot flashes. So, the next time you feel a hot flash, the next time you feel a precursor to sweating, remember to slow down your breathing.
