Hi Anon,

Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community.

Hot flashes and night sweats are common symptoms that may occur after a hysterectomy. Hormone imbalance is the culprit. Be sure to discuss the night sweats with your doctor. Although they can be a normal sign of recovery, they can also be a sign that something else is going on and needs attention.

Here are some suggestions for relief:

• Nightwear - avoid polyester and flannel and choose light weight cotton.
• Chillow or Iso Cool Pillow - Pillow that stays cooler and absorbes access heat.
• Discuss hormone treatment options with your doctor.
• Modifications in diet, exercise(daily activity) and supplements can be helpful as well.

I hope this helps.

Be well,
