I have not had a period in 13 months. I have been experiencing extreme hot flashes for about 3 years and have tried lots of treatments. right now I am using 1.25 mg of Divigel daily, Also severe acne has set in the last 6 months. I exercise about 3-5 hours a week, & drink lots of water. How much longer can I expect this to continue? what can I do?
Please do not panic. If you are in perimenopausal age group your symptoms can be due to diminishing ovarian function. Please opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regime.
It may be due to hormonal imbalances. Consult a gynaecologist and get evaluated. We have to get an ultrasound scan done to rule out conditions like PCOS which can cause similar symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

What Can I Do For Hot Flashes And Severe Acne?
Hi, Please do not panic. If you are in perimenopausal age group your symptoms can be due to diminishing ovarian function. Please opt for a healthy diet and regular exercise regime. Please start on isoflavones supplements on daily basis along with multivitamin and multimineral and protein supplements. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
