A member asked:
Can there be any other reason to have hot flashes other than menopause?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
POSSIBLY: That said, hot flashes are cause by a drop in estrogen levels in the brain. Therefore, any low estrogen state can cause them. Blood tests and a vag sonogram can answer your question promptly and accurately.
