Hot flushes following hormone therapy for prostate cancer

Question
How long do hot flashes last after hormone therapy and radiation treatments for prostate cancer?
Answer
The hot flushes are due to the hormone treatment rather than the radiation therapy and tend to wear off over time. There are non-pharmacological treatments that may help, such as Evening Primrose Oil, and pharmacological ones about which your specialist will tell you.
