Is menopause worse in winter? 

Hot flashes, joint pain and dry skin are just a few issues that are exacerbated during colder months 

During winter, frequent transitions between cold outdoor environments and heated indoor spaces can trigger sudden heat surges and make hot flashes harder to manage.

Many of us complain about getting a chill or a cold when temperatures start to drop, but women going through menopause are often the ones who struggle the most during this seasonal shift.

The wintry weather has been known to heighten many menopausal symptoms, making the colder months a particularly challenging time for women who are experiencing the change in hormones.
