Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problems are most likely due to decreasing of estrogen.Night sweats and hot flashes are vasomotor symptoms of that.Hormone replacement therapy can be considered after consulting your gynecologist.That will improve most of your symptoms.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
