Hot flashes more than a year after ending treatment

@colleenyoung Hi Colleen,
My furnace is on, set at 72 degF. It's cold for me so I get under the blanket to sleep. Then I would wake up once or twice a night, feeling too hot; I would remove the blanket but after a while I would feel cold again and get under the blanket. This doesn't happen every day, unusual isn't it? My concern is if in somebody else experience this can get worse over time? I hope not.
Thanks for your time.

I had a lot of problems with temperature control for years while i was on ADT. I would get hot really quickly, have to throw off all the sheets and blankets and then when I got cold, I could put them back on, but in the night. I’d start sweating so much the sheet would get wet under me. The wave device stopped the night problem.
This is all due to low testosterone. Something you still have. You can get your blood tested next time you get an PSA test and have a testosterone test included, to see where you’re at. Once you hit 150 it gets better.
After almost nine years of ADT It’s finally getting better. I don’t get hot as often even with my testosterone near zero.
I never turn the heat on at night. It seldom gets below the mid 50s outdoors here, even in the winter, I much prefer the house to be 66 to 68 to not get too hot.
