A recent video has gone viral, sparking conversations and shedding light on a topic often misunderstood: menopause. The clip shows a woman experiencing a hot flash, with visible steam rising from her head, leaving some men perplexed and others puzzled. However, many women immediately recognized the situation and shared their support and understanding.
The video, originally shared on TikTok by Tracey Monique, has become a rallying cry for greater awareness about menopause and its symptoms. Monique’s experience is a testament to the impact of hot flashes, which can be uncomfortable and debilitating.

According to Bupa, a British health insurance provider, hot flashes are a common symptom of menopause, characterized by a sudden feeling of heat spreading through the body and face, often accompanied by sweating, mood changes, and difficulty concentrating.
The video has sparked a chorus of support from women who have experienced similar symptoms, with many sharing their own stories and encouraging others to speak out. Some have called for greater understanding and empathy from men, highlighting the importance of education and awareness. As one user noted, “Every man needs to see this, so they don’t think their wives are being dramatic when they say they are having a hot flash.”
The conversation surrounding menopause and its symptoms is long overdue. By sharing their experiences and speaking out, women like Monique are helping to break the silence and stigma surrounding this natural stage of life. As we continue to push for greater understanding and support, we can work towards creating a more inclusive and compassionate society for all.
