Older women I know (45+) often complain about "hot flashes", 
which I understand are due to hormonal imbalances.  I am not 
really sure of the sensation, and would like further
information/descriptions, preferably first or second hand
from other women.  Two other issues I would like to address 
are the formation of fibroids in the uterus, and hysterectomies 
-- are they really necessary?  I've heard so many horror
stories among women of my mother's age, and so many of them
have had this operation performed. Are there any ways to prevent 
these?  I'd like to age gracefully.
