after 70? something new for me 1|1|Hot flashes|Joaniebott|joaniebott@AOL.com|11:09:49|08/15/2021|
I had a total hysterectomy when I was 29 and have been having hot flashes for 40 years......LOL!!! I was not allowed to have hormone replacement and "they" all said my adrenal glands would replace the hormone stuff but it never happened.
Are you sure they are hormonal? If I take Tramadol for pain, the night sweats are pretty horrible. It may be a medication you are on that is causing this. Have your doctor sit and review your medications with you and if you cannot find a comparison, ask the doctor for a blood test for hormone levels.

looked up on google and 2 of the things that I have are thyroid and started
drinking a lot more coffee which they say also can cause them.

Diagnosing a UTI is pretty easy - you either do or you don't - your doctor "thought it was a UTI" doesn't make sense. You have chills....fever? Thyroid is a simple blood test - any woman over 30 should have their doctor check their thyroid every year - I have been on medication since my 30s.
