Women who experience moderate to severe hot flashes and night sweats during menopause tend to have lower bone mineral density and higher rates of hip fracture than peers who do not have menopausal symptoms, according to a new study.
Menopause is the life stage when a woman’s ovaries stop producing hormones and her menstrual periods stop. About 60 percent of women experience hot flashes, which can last for several years.
