	Hot flashes are primarily caused by the hormonal changes of menopause, but can also be affected by lifestyle and medications. A diminished level of [[estrogen]] has a direct effect on the hypothalamic thermoregulatory center. Other factors that may induce hot flashes include [[hyperthyroidism]], [[hypercalcemia]], and [[tuberculosis]].
