Estrogen withdrawal: Every woman will go through estrogen withdrawal when the ovaries quit working or are removed at surgery. There are medications that can cause this also. Symptoms of hot flashes and night sweats are common but some women have no symptoms. Hope this helps.

Hormonal bleeding: When you are taking hormone medication (whether for menopause or birth control), there can be bleeding that happens when you stop taking estrogen.
