A member asked:
Could low estrogens cause acne and hot flushes ?? what are the choice treatments for this in young women ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Young hot flashes: In patients at age 21, hot flashes and acne may not be related to estrogen. Elevated progesterone and androgen hormones may be the culprit and estrogens may secondarily be relatively low for that reason. Oral contraceptive pills can work on both scores after issues like too active thyroid function and high blood pressure are eliminated.
