Hi,
i would like to know the age of your boyfriend.
Kindly visit a endocrinologist regarding tests for hormonal levels as there may be some hormonal imbalance for ex: thyroid problem or other hormonal problems or some psychological causes.
The doctor may give progestin therapy or antiandrogen therapy or anti depressants to lower the flushes based on the diagnosis after the blood tests for hormone levels.
Thanks
