Menopause and perimenopause can significantly impact body temperature regulation due to hormonal fluctuations, particularly the decline in oestrogen. Oestrogen plays a crucial role in regulating the body's internal thermostat in the hypothalamus, the part of the brain responsible for controlling temperature. As oestrogen levels decrease during perimenopause and menopause, many women experience issues such as hot flashes, night sweats, and temperature sensitivity. These symptoms can vary in severity and duration, and they may affect daily comfort and sleep quality.
