QuestionI have endo and am always experiencing hot and clod flushes it is becoming unbearable im having to shower at least twice a day. please could you give me some advice on how to calm these?
AnswerHi ALecia!
I have had endo since I was 13 and diagnosed at age 25...I have always had those hot and cold flashes. Now that I am older, I only have the night sweats, they're awful and wake me up at night!
Are you presently on any meds or hormones? Do you see a Dr. that is familiar with your endo? Because I know hormones (like Birth Control pills) help with endo and stop all the symptoms of endo, including flashes...There are also hormone creams on the market that help as well as OTC all natural supplements. Because the severity of endo depends on the flux of your hormones You can also go to a GNC and pick Black Cohash, all natural and that really helps with the sweats, flashes, etc.
I know they are so annoying. Unfortunately, endo hits everyone differently but some of us are plagued with the hold and cold flashes, kind of goes hand in hand with endo. I would try one of the above or ask your doctor. The all natural Black Cohash has helped me immensely.
Best of luck to you, I hope you find relief! Let me know if you get a chance. Thanks!
Martha
