Indeed, the exact cause of hot flashes isn't known, but it's likely related to several factors. These include changes in reproductive hormones and in the hypothalamus, which becomes more sensitive to slight changes in body temperature.
The hormonal changes of menopause might make you more likely to gain weight around your abdomen than around your hips and thighs. Hormonal changes alone don't necessarily trigger menopause weight gain, however. Instead, the weight gain is usually related to aging, as well as lifestyle and genetic factors.
