Hi , hot flashes or hot flushes are mainly due to low level of FSH and estrogens in woman and low testosterone level in men,mainly seen after menopause in women.
The hormone replacement therapy is the only choice with some medication like SSRIs can help.
You should see endocrinologist for further advise.
