DEAR DR. GOTT:
I’m 80 years old and still have hot flashes. They’re infrequent and don’t last long. I don’t perspire, but am uncomfortable. My doctor is unconcerned.
DEAR READER:
If your physician is unconcerned, I would take that as a good sign. Most women your age no longer experience the side effects of menopause.
Make an appointment with a gynecologist. If he or she expresses concern, proper testing can be coordinated.
To give you related information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Menopause”. Other readers who would like a copy should send a self-addressed, stamped, number 10 envelope and $2 to Newsletter, PO Box 167, Wickliffe, OH 44092. Be sure to mention the title.
