What Causes Abdominal Cramps And Hot Flashes?

I am a 41 y/o diabetic woman and I just had my period (came a couple of days early and only lasted 2 days) May 16th. Lately I have been very fatigued, mild lower abdominal cramps (similar to period), hot flashes, and my blood sugars have been slightly higher.

Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. High blood sugar itself might cause some intestinal cramps. So, I would advise you for a proper control of your blood sugar on consultation with your physician, and also consult a gynaecologist to rule out pre-menopausal symptoms considering your age factor. In addition a thyroid function test would be worth considering.Also I would advise you to avoid food from outside if you do. Further management would depend on the reports of investigations.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
