This article discusses how to cope with menopause, where symptoms like hot flushes and night sweats are common during the summer.

Dr Christina Jang, a consultant endocrinologist and board member of the Australasian Menopause Society discusses how:

"women on hormone medication can also be affected, especially if they use adhesive skin patches that can slip off with sweat."

Also Dr Jang comments on finding the best products to assist in management:

“Women really need to be very wary of what products they choose and their safety profile – whether they have been proven to be safe and effective in clinical trials – it’s really important,”

“Treatment should always be tailored to the individual, keeping in mind their past medical history, general preferences and what’s suitable for them. That’s a discussion that needs to be had with their doctor,” she says.
