Still getting hot flushes!!!

[puddicat]

Went through a chemical menopause 2 years ago, due to having a full hysterectomy, thought i was just getting hot through the weather, but its just my face that keeps flushing every now and then, luckily havent sufffered as some ladies have, but strange it keeps happening after all this time!

hi puddicat,
i had a surgical hysterectomy over 8 years ago and still have very hot flushes, i use a small lavender cushion that i keep in the fridge and place on my forehead it seems to help for a while. i get my flushes more so at night time. it is just very uncomfortable. you could always keep a damp flannel near you or place some wet ones in the fridge. i dont know if you take hrt it might help you. :-)xx

thanks shazza no i wasnt offered anything really annoyed in the lack of choices, would not have a hysterectomy again unless it was life threatening!!!

I had a hysterectomy when I was 29. I am now 55 & still get the flushes.I know women in their 70s that still experience them. Not much comfort to you, I know. BLACK COHOSH & also SAGE TEA do help lessen them.
