If you are having hot flushes, it could be that your blood sugars are too high or you are just overweight. I had a radical hysterectomy about 7-8 years ago but before that, I went to the Dr's to complain about the hot flushes. They did hormone tests, told me I was still a little way off menopause but they would send me to a specialist because I was also struggling with memory. I got quite annoyed when he said I was getting overheated because I was overweight (I didn't think I was that big) and suggested that I was also insulin resistant. Sure enough, I lost weight, started metformin and the hot flushes stopped. In fact, for the first time in years I started wearing a coat and had to wrap up warm at night. Sadly, I wasn't able to keep the weight off and I find the diabetes difficult to control so even though I am on HRT, I still struggle with being too hot and night sweats.
