Could Hot Flashes Be A Result Of Hernia Surgery?

I am experiencing hot flashes but beyond menopause I think, age 63, total hyst at age 52, just had hernia surgery in gut, found out by liver biopsy my liver is very diseased, no path report yet but previous CT scan said possible cirrhosis, could these evening hot flashes be at all tied to liver disease?

so its well beyond when menstruation finishes and it started suddenly after treatment. main mechanism of hot flushes is vasodilation of small blood vessel. may be some vasodilating drugs are acting as a side effect. so it would be better if u come out with the drugs name next time.
