I am 20 yrs. post menopause due to a total
hysterectomy with bil.
salpingo-oophorectomy. I was on Premarin
until approx. 2 yrs. ago. I have always
had "hot flashes" from not having a better
way to describe them. Several times a day
my whole body gets hot and I break out
into a dripping sweat. However, they seem
different from what I used to have, and
they are continuously getting more severe.
I have been told they are due to
hypoglycemia, hypothyroid ( they did not
quit when I started taking Synthroid),
high cholesterol, etc., etc. I do use
estrogen cream occasionally, with no
noticable difference. I eat tofu every
day in a breakfast drink. What tests can
I request to find out the true cause.
Any advice would be appreciated.
