Am A Fitness Coordinator. Continued Fitness Routine. Have Heat Flashes. Will An Anti-depressant Or Estrogen Supplement Help?
I'm a fitness coordinator 56 yrs..... old weighted 117.... up until last spring...in two months...I went up weight 30 pounds
My diet was the same in fact...low my calorie intake...continued my fitness routine...but couldn't drop any pounds
heat flashes are terrible...I call them sweat flashes....my Dr. doesn't not believe in anything...maybe an anti-depressant....NO!
Would a estrogen supplement help with the sweats/weight gain?

Hi, as you think it may be due to the defeciency of the estrogen, but before confirming the harmone levels in the blood and condition of the ovaries shoud be estimated.
the hot flushes, and weekness could be due to the urinary tract infection, which usually occur at this age. So i advise you to consult a gynecologist for diagnosis and treatment. Thank you.
