Is there a medication for hot flashes, that is not HRT? I'm 71 and never really bothered by hot flashes much. Had a complete hysterectomy in 2005. Over the last 3 or 4 years hot flashes have made my life miserable! I used over the counter supplements, Estroven, did not help.
Someone help me please!!!
Hot flashes, later in life?
