Dr. Berga explains if hot flashes are treatable with hormone replacement therapy.
Dr. Berga:
Hot flashes are definitely treatable with hormone replacement therapy. It works best and people are also in good health and well rested. I think you know, it’s true that people who are not taking care of themselves have untreated diabetes, thyroid disease and other conditions, may find that hormones don’t actually benefit them as much as they would like, and it’s important in that circumstance when you have hot flashes that don’t seem to be treatable to make sure that other conditions have been excluded
