Hi chana1971 - keep in mind that symptoms of menopause can come from a variety of hormone imbalances - at any age. It's not uncommon for a thyroid condition to affect hormone levels, causing hot flashes & night sweats.

There are a lot of places to find support / information about 'all the other stuff' that comes with menopause (sorry if that sounds like I'm making light of it). Online resources to help diagnose symptoms include http://www.medicinenet.com/hot_flashes/s… or http://www.webmd.com/menopause/guide/hot… each of which give some further information about hot flashes and their causes. Some suggestions include elimination or reduced intake of alcohol, caffeine, and spicy foods - but check them out yourself.

My better half, Sassy, has had to wrestle with hot flashes too. For what it's worth, she did find a silver bullet that killed her hot flashes within hours - venlafaxine (a generic substitute for Effexor). It was originally a prescription drug used to treat depression, but recently it was approved for use in treating menopause symptoms; many doctors aren't even aware of that use for the drug. If you're OK with drugs, and your doctor will write the prescription, the venlafaxine may work for you too. Keep in mind that your side effects may vary (it caused a dry mouth as a side effect for Sassy) - or it may not work at all.

If you can't put an end to the hot flashes, try to catch them early - before you go past the 'tipping point' and into a full fledged hot flash. A small battery powered fan may do the job, or simply finding a nearby faucet and running your hands under cold water may put out the fire. Your blood is close to the surface in your forearms, wrists, and backs of your hands, and water can suck a lot of heat out quickly. Give it a shot; hope you find relief!

You could take estrogen but as you say, it's not worth the risk. Manage the symptoms and eventually they will go away.

Also, you will grow a mustache. Just shave it like a man would and laser it only it if it is leaving 5 o'clock shadow.
