I have a friend who is always flushing.
I asked her if her flushes start in the upper body and radiate out.
She said yes, and she feels like she has got a heating element there, and is often hot when the rest of us are not.
She also has been getting irregular periods.
She said she keeps getting fobbed off by doctors as they say she is too young to be starting menopause.
I told her she might not be too young, and some women start in their thirties or early forties like me who started at 42.
I told her to go back and ask for a blood test, but I know that these can be inaccurate. That's how my gp dealt with me.
My blood test was not conclusive and a repeat test was necessary, but after my doctor felt my soggy neck she was willing to start me on hrt, but only if I got a smear first, as I was reluctant to get a smear, because I didn't see any point as I was suicidal anyway back then. I got the smear, then the hrt saga started.
I told my friend it might a while to trial different hrt's to see which one suited her best.
I dunno what else to advise her as you cannot really force someone to ask for a blood test if the doctors are reluctant. She sees the same doctors surgery as me.
