Feeling hot and flushed before menstruation may be caused by a surge in hormone secretion. During menstruation, progesterone and estrogen levels rise significantly, leading to a slight increase in body temperature and resulting in sensations of heat or warmth. However, such symptoms could also indicate tuberculosis or the onset of menopause.
