Question:
Is it possible to begin having hot flashes at age 66?
I had a partial hysterectomy at age 32 due to cancer, then had my ovaries removed at age 57. I just recently began having extremely intense, uncomfortable hot flashes. I am taking numerous medications and wonder if this is a side effect or if I may need hormone replacement treatment. (I thought I was too old to need hormones). I will, of course, ask my Doctor, but wonder if there are any Nurses or Doctors or persons who have had such an experience who can give me any information. Thank you.
Answers:
several of my patients in the nursing homes have hot flashes due to meds. I would consult dr. If you are taking a number of meds your body may just be adjusting to them. Definitely speak with dr. let them know what is going on.
