Question by Jupiter Joanne: What causes the hot flushes that occur during menopause?
My hot flushes were so severe that I didn’t need a blanket all winter long. Also, is there such a thing as male menopause? If so, do men get cold flushes?
I went through a severe menopause while in my thirties, as the result of a complete hysterectomy after having uterus cancer.

The simple answer is homones, specifically hormonal changes. Your body is changing into something different from a hormonal standpoint. These symptoms are just a normal part of the change. Men go through hormonal changes as well with age, but they differ and are not as easily identifiable as something like the cessation of menstration.
