General Surgeon, Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel's Response

Hello,

Hot flashes and constipation are secondary to malabsorption or disturbed enterohepatic circulation of certain elements of digestion, rather than possible previous problem. Intake of plenty of liquids, high fiber diet and bulk forming laxative as Ispaghula husk or Psyllium husk are best remedies for current issue.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
