Heeding Hot Flashes Advice From Dr Lamb
A 53 year old in 1966 started hot flashes after menopause and after stopping hormones due to blood clots she still suffers over 16 years later. A reader asks if flashes will end or persist and if starches or sweets affect them. The doctor explains menopause causes hot flashes, often last two years but may persist, and urges medical evaluation to rule out other conditions. Heat, not starches, triggers, and weight loss may help. The doctor offers Health Letter issue 5-12 for more information and urges seeing a physician when possible.
