Which part of the world are you in ?

I am in PNW USA, and am on Medicare now so things happen too slowly

I would embrace a conversation with the Endocrinologist but appointments with specialists are slow to occur and so is the ordered testing

The hot flashes were increasing magnitude and frequency and the next appointment is in December

The gynecomastia is not as bothersome as the hot flashes that drown my hearing aids
Needed to get a handle on this sooner rather than later

I live in PNW USA.  Also on Medicare.  Understand.  Interesting that both my wife and I are experiencing hot flushes, not flashes, in our middle 70's.  I think it is our medications.  Hers are are worse than mine.  Haven't had any problems with hearing aids, yet.  I will be in Alaska for 3 weeks in September.  It will be interesting how I deal with this in the cool weather.

I keep my house at 73 degrees, and even at those temps a hot flash will leave me pouring down sweat to the point my hair mats against my scalp. 
I believe that it's internal, and the outside temperatures have little to do with it.
