My boy is 18 gets hot flashes all the time . can he take meds that women take for menopause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See details: The differential diagnosis of hot flashes in boys and men is long and complicated. He should be evaluated by his PCP and get referral to specialist if needed. It may be not a good idea to give him meds for menopausal women.
