I take medication for containing prostate cancer; i experience hot flashes as a result and i don't like it. what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely long-term: Androgen deprivation is a standard treatment for advanced or metastatic prostate cancer. Hot flashes are a common side effect , due to diminished testosterone levels. Hot flashes are likely to occur for a prolonged interval, extending even beyond the time that the medication is stopped, typically coinciding with testosterone recovery. Effexor, (venlafaxine) Megace, and Depo-Provera can offer relief. See you MD
