A member asked:

6 weeks postpartum having hot flashes, is this because i had my tubes tied when i had my c-section or is it just hormonal and heat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hot flashes: The tubal should not be an issue with this. Your body is still changing hormonally post pregnancy and is the likely cause of the hot flashes. Should taper off over the next 3 months.
