Hot flashes are a common symptom of menopause, but did you know your thyroid hormones can also play a role?

The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism and energy levels, but imbalances can cause hot flashes.

Hyperthyroidism, or an overactive thyroid, can lead to hot flashes as well as other symptoms like weight loss and anxiety.

Hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid, can also cause hot flashes along with weight gain, fatigue, and depression.

Estrogen plays a crucial role in regulating body temperature, and thyroid hormones can affect estrogen levels, leading to hot flashes.

If you're experiencing hot flashes, it's essential to talk to your doctor about your thyroid function and hormone levels to get proper treatment.
