About Hot Flashes

Hot flashes are not a medical procedure but a common symptom, often managed by an endocrinologist. An endocrinologist specializes in diagnosing and treating hormonal imbalances, which are a primary cause of hot flashes, particularly during menopause. The management involves a comprehensive evaluation, including a detailed medical history, symptom assessment, and blood tests to check hormone levels (like estrogen, FSH, and thyroid function). Based on the diagnosis, the endocrinologist develops a personalized treatment plan. This may include lifestyle modifications, non-hormonal medications, or hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to rebalance hormones and effectively reduce the frequency and severity of hot flashes, thereby improving overall quality of life.
