What Causes Hot Flashes Particularly In The Genital Area?
I am a 64 year old male who lives in Colorado. I have noticed a pattern over the last few years that occurs in early fall. I am prone to hot flashes , particularly becoming hot and very sweaty in the genital region as I am initiating sex with my wife. When this occurs, I can no longer maintain an erection. It s almost as if my internal thermostat is adjusting the to change in seasons/temperature and this occurs. I eventually am able to get past for the most part it as the seasons progress.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Hot flashes in a male due to andropause or due to drugs that act as anti androgens. Hyperthyroidism or infection or peripheral vascular disease etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
