Could The Night Sweats And Hot Flashes A Part Of Menopause?
Hi! I had a total hysterectomy about 10 years ago and went in to surgical menopause. I was on an HRT patch for a few years and then stopped. I've been symptom-free since getting off of the HRT a few years ago, but during the last few months I've been having severe night sweats, and what I think are, hotflashes. Is this part of menopause or could it be something else?

Hello madam, from the history you have given, well it looks more like after effects of menopause.you did not mention about your age and the reason for undergoing surgical menopause and at what age have you undergone surgery.Well hormone replacement therapy cannot be used for a prolonged period due to its side effects. If the symptoms worsen, I would suggest you to consult your gynaecologist, for further management.hope I was helpful to you.
