Wait... Hot Flashes After Menopause?

If you thought hot flashes would magically disappear once symptoms of menopause end, you’re not alone.

But as it turns out, many women continue experiencing hot flashes after menopause , even years later.

I’m Linda Bamber, inventor of the WAVwatch and a passionate advocate for natural wellness.

I’ve been there—waking up drenched in sweat with the sheets kicked off and feeling like I could set the room on fire.

Menopause may end, but for many of us, the night sweats and sudden heat surges like to linger.

So, can you have hot flashes and night sweats after menopause? Absolutely. Let’s explore why, how long they stick around, and what you can do to finally feel like yourself again.

What Causes Post-Menopausal Hot Flashes?

To put it simply, your hormones are still settling down, and some women choose hormone therapy to help bring back balance, although there may be risk factors.

Although menstruation has ceased, your body continues to adapt to the altered estrogen levels. And that often includes temperature control problems.

Here’s what may be happening:

  • Fluctuations in estrogen can affect your body’s internal thermostat, as it does in early pregnancy .
  • The hypothalamus, your heat-regulating control center, gets confused, causing the sensation of heat.
  • Stress, poor sleep, and even certain foods can trigger heat surges.

Do you get post-menopausal hot flashes? Yes, especially if your body is still adjusting to the new balance after the transition.

How Long Do Hot Flashes Last After Menopause?

Some women breeze through it in a few months. Others—like me—have experienced hot flashes years later.

According to the North American Menopause Society:

  • Managing hot flashes can continue for 7–10 years post-menopause.
  • For about 10–15% of women, they may last even longer.

That's a long time to keep flipping your pillow to the cool side as a treatment option.

  • Wearable as a watch and simple to use anytime, day or night.

Women using WAVwatch have reported:

And the best part? Since it's drug-free, it doesn’t interfere with your body’s natural processes.

What Experts Say About Sound-Based Wellness

Sound therapy may seem new, but people have been using it for centuries. It serves as an effective treatment for various issues.

Modern studies support the idea that vibroacoustic therapy and frequency therapy can positively impact:

Sound vibration therapy can reduce stress and help with relaxation.

Research examined the effects of low-frequency sound on menopausal symptoms, which work by calming the autonomic nervous system.

While the WAVwatch doesn’t diagnose or cure anything, it gives your body a chance to restore its balance naturally.
