What Causes Hot Flashes And Vaginal Itching After A Hysterectomy?

I had a total hysterectomy and was having hot flashes pretty often. Someone told me that Black Cohosh would help with those. I got some and started taking them, and had some relief from the hot flashes, but developed extreme vaginal itching. I stopped the herb, and my itching has subsided some, but now more increased hot flashes. Is that a side effect? Sandra Stanbery
