Hot flashes
is a condition often experienced by those who are
undergoing breast cancer treatment.Its a state where
a feeling of heat to the face and upper body is
felt that can leave you perspiring and feeling flushed.
The reason
for feeling hot flashes occurs due to changing hormone
levels that interfere with the body’s ability to
regulate its temperature.
In pre-menopausal
women undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer, ovarian
function often stops, leading to very low levels of
circulating a hormone, which results in hot flashes.
Hot flashes
also are a side effect of hormone therapies .
