Menopause: Managing hot flashes
Where can I go from here?
If you are having problems with hot flashes, discuss them with your doctor at your next regularly scheduled appointment. If your hot flashes are so severe that they are disrupting your sleep or affecting another area of your life, call your doctor to discuss your hot flashes.
If you would like more information about menopausal changes, see the topic Menopause and Perimenopause.
