What Causes Frequent Hot Flashes?

I have been having some hot flashes, lately they ve been lasting longer. The reason why I worry is because I never get fevers and my hands are always cold. Yet, when the hot flashes began my hands have been getting warm. I also sweat, yet I am not sick nor do I have a fever. The hot flashes also affect my mood. I would appreciate it if you can reply as soon as possible, thank you.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare magic.
Going through what you have presented, it could be difficult to come out with a possible cause. These causes vary with sex, age and may be geographical location. In old women, it could be a sign of menopause. In the general population, it could be a sign of an infection (some infections tend to occur in some areas more than others), a malignant tumor or some other diseases. If it is possible, I would suggest you provide more information or you see a GP for proper assessment.


I hope that answers your query. If you have more questions or any follow up query do not hesitate to write to us.
I wish you well
