I haven't really experienced hot flashes since I went through surgical menopause about 6 years ago. But more so recently my face would get cherry red and I could not get cool enough. So do these sound like true hot flashes and a side from medication how do I make them go away?

" The best way to beat a hot flash is naturally. Hot flashes have a lot to do with the low levels of estrogen in your body, but other factors can cause your temperature control to go out of whack. Studies show that medication is not always helpful. Instead of estrogen therapy, look at less drastic measures first, partly because estrogen therapy is not known to be safe for women with a history of breast cancer—but also because you should always begin with the least aggressive approach to treating your menopausal symptoms.

" What type of surgery did you have done? I had a partial hysterectomy about 5 yrs. ago and they left my left ovary in so that I wouldn't start menopause too soon. I started getting nite sweats not long afterward. It wasn't till about a year 1/2 to 2 yrs. ago that I started getting these other weird feelings that turned out to be perimenopause. "
