Hot flashes anyone?
Posted , 7 users are following.
Ive been experiencing hot flashes for the last 3 weeks. And I'm almost 6 months post op. All thyroid and blood sugars are normal. I'm hoping it's medication and anesthetic working out of my body. Anybody??

Extremely unpleasant hot flushes started the day after surgery. I had loads each day and at nightime it was horrendous - throwing all the covers off because I felt I was on fire, and then waking up 'cos I was freezing. There was no happy medium.
These hot flushes continued until about 1 month ago 5 months post op. They just stopped. I don't know why. I told the hip team but they didn't give any answers. I suspect it was the stress from major surgery meds blood thinners. Whatever it was I wonder the havoc it does with our hormones.
Hang in there! 😱

Yes I've been experiencing much the same similar to what I experienced when having hormone treatment for prostate cancer.

I'm 10 months post op. I experienced hot flashes several months ago. My OB/GYN ran some blood tests. It came back that I was post menopausal. Check with your doctor. There are tests they can run.

That's funny!! Maybe something to do with the Meds then? Take care!
