Hot flashes are not just a problem for menopausal women
Typically, hot flashes are known as a common symptom in menopausal women. However, men can also experience similar conditions, especially when testosterone levels - male sex hormone, decrease due to age or medical treatment, according to Only my health.
Causes of male hot flashes
According to Dr. Shashank - Urinary and kidney transplant expert, Aster CMI Hospital (India), men's rashes are often related to:
Decreased testosterone with age.
ADT (androgen deficiency) therapy in the treatment of prostate cancer causes a sharp decrease in testosterone, disrupting the temperature regulation mechanism.
Some other causes: stress, medication, thyroid disorders, diseases in the hypothalamus or the eyes.
Signs to note
A fire can be accompanied by:
- Hot and red face, neck, chest.
- Unusually high sweating.
- Refrigerate after a fire.
If symptoms occur frequently, severely or are accompanied by weight loss, prolonged fatigue, you need to check your health to rule out potential problems.
How to control and treat fire in men
Dr. Shashank recommends:
Hormonal therapy: Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) may be used as prescribed.
Lifestyle changes:
- Eat healthy, get enough sleep.
Avoid spicy foods, alcohol, caffeine and hot environments.
- Exercise regularly, manage stress.
Drug treatment: Some cases may experience depression or gabapentin if they do not meet other measures.
Note
Men's hot flashes should not be taken lightly. Understanding the causes and choosing the right treatment will help effectively control symptoms and improve quality of life. If you have unusual signs, see a specialist for timely advice.
