Hot flash and perimenopause.
A wave of heat that rises through your upper body without warning. Skin can flush, sweat usually follows, and the episode normally passes within a few minutes. The single most common symptom of the menopause transition. Around four out of five women report it at some point.

How Primrose & Eve tracks hot flash
Primrose & Eve lets you log hot flash in two taps, with a five-point severity scale and optional trigger tags — stress, caffeine, alcohol, poor sleep, exercise, heat, food. After three weeks of logging, the app's pattern engine identifies what is making your symptoms better or worse, using the same statistical tests epidemiologists use. Those findings go into a clinical briefing your doctor can read and act on in the time you actually have with them.

How can I track hot flash during perimenopause?
Primrose & Eve is designed for exactly this.

Everything goes into a GP Report — a clinical briefing you can share with your doctor.
