When can women expect to start having night sweats?
Many women in their 40s and 50s develop night sweats, which often begin before the actual cessation of a woman’s menstrual cycle. One study found that approximately 19% of women aged 40 to 55 who still had regular periods experienced night sweats. Most women begin to develop symptoms three to ten years before actual menopause, a span of time called perimenopause.
