Answer 1

Answer:

c) Hot flashes during menopause result from low levels of estrogen.

Explanation:

Not all women, but a big number of them experience the heat and hot flashes without sweating, while others sweat so much. Some flashes occur at night and they are called night sweats.

75% of women experience hot flashes and night sweats due to menopause. Some won't experience them at all. Some will experience mild flashes. But at least 30% of women are affected by night sweats and hot flashes on the daily basis, so badly, that they can't get along with their lifestyles as they used to. Some hot flashes last from one to five minutes and may occur daily for some women, while some women are affected by them a few times a week.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. Women often report having more energy after menopause.

Explanation:

After menopause, women often report decreased energy and increased tiredness. Decreased hormone production during climacteric causes a change in the way cells in the female body use the energy they receive, so it is common for women during and after menopause to experience feelings of tiredness and weakness.
