A member asked:

Im on my period right now and ive been getting a lot of hot flashes. i feel like im soo hot and then at the end i get cold or get chills. i think it has to do with my hormones or something else ideas ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hormone changes: If a woman is having menstrual periods it means she has adequate estrogen to form a uterine lining which is then being shed. Hot flashes & chills usually mean the amount of estrogen is changing, although they can also be due to other hormonal causes (thyroid, etc), or even a low grade infection in the body. If you feel fine the rest of the month a Dr visit can wait but if feeling badly call Dr
