Sweats

Hi Carol, there are two general rules - a) some side effects will wear off in about the same amount of time as the man was on hormones and b) if the side effects came on quickly when he started HT, they will usually diminish quickly when he stops, and if the side effects came on slowly over a period of time they are likely to linger. Unfortunately, some side effects never leave and hot flushes tend to be a permanent side effect for a lot of men. Treatments are similar as for women - sage tablets from places like Holland & Barrett, wearing a light layer of cotton clothing in bed, ensuring clothes & bedding are natural fibre, reducing caffeine intake, etc. John is nearly 7 years post-HT and the flushes have never eased.
