Hello,
There are several reasons for sweating and hot flashes. I think you are too early for menopause and it can be caused either by hyperthyroidism, infection, Hodgkin lymphoma etc. You need to do a total blood count and thyroid hormone levels.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
