Finasteride and hot flashes

I am a 28 year old male and I’ve been using finasteride for 2 years. After 7 months I started feeling random hot flashes in my body every day. Reducing the dose to 1mg every other day, it worked for a few months, but the hot flashes came back. What can it be?

This is the first time I heard that from a male. I don’t know what it means. According to a look up in Google, this is a known side effect in older men taking finasteride.
