I recently have gained a lot of weight am constipated and have severe hot flashes i am 51?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Menopausal hot flash: Hot flashes are properly related menopause and constipation and weight gain may be due to underactive thyroid gland.You should have it checked first.If that is normal than it may be due to change in your eating habits and have to modify your diet.
