Palmar and plantar heat sensations may occur during menopause. As women enter menopause, ovarian function gradually declines and estrogen levels decrease, affecting the hypothalamic thermoregulatory center and causing instability in vascular constriction and dilation—leading to symptoms such as hot flashes and sweating.
Menopause may also be accompanied by other symptoms, including dry skin, increased wrinkling, and bone loss. Patients may alleviate these symptoms under medical guidance through pharmacological therapy, lifestyle modifications, and dietary adjustments.
