What Causes Hot Flashes At Night?
I am 75 years old and for about the last three years I have suffered with hot spells in the evening and into the night. I am on a low dose of estrogen and have had my ovaries while in my forties. My thyroid profile was in the normal range, and per my gyn, my hormone level is ok. What could cause this? Oh yes, I used to be very coldnatured and now I’m not.
