We have been running a survey around hot flashes to help women have a collective voice around what they are experiencing. If you haven't taken the survey you can learn more and take the survey through this link: http://www.empowher.com/hot-flashes-survey/
The statistics around how many millions of women suffer from hot flashes varies. We have seen numbers anywhere from 30 to 50+ million women. The fact that we don't even know just how many women suffer is part of the problem. Women are in need of more research and treatment options around menopause and hot flashes.
We teamed up with HysterSisters (http://www.hystersisters.com/), a woman to woman support website for gynecological medical and emotional issues surrounding the hysterectomy experience, to create the Hot Flashes Survey, which was published on both of our sites. Collectively, 6,353 women have participated in the survey so far! We would like to thank our community members, supporters, friends, family and everyone who took the survey.

Hot flashes and facial flushing are really in control of how I live my life. It's terrible and until you experience it you will never understand.
