Avatar n tn Hello, my wife had a full hysterectomy approximately 10 years ago and everything was taken out, EVERYTHING. She had a few cysts and her gynecologist suggested a full hysterectomy due to the fact that the cysts could come back if she were to get a a half hysterectomy. Long story short, she's a strong woman who really keeps it together but she has recently expressed that she's been battling depression.
Avatar n tn I had a medically induced menopause..horrible side effects untill i went on hrt..my ovaries where taken also thougth.. I have been a member here for a while and have answered alot of hysterectomy/ menopause questions..you are definatley on to something..case after case of women whose intact ovaries are effected by the removal of the uterus..hormones are effected..if this is a corellation to her past phycosis I dont know and ultimatley it doesnt even matter..
Avatar n tn Have there been studies of women who had estrogen positive breast cancer while on HRT due to hysterectomy and stopped their source of estrogen. The only information that I can find talks the women who had ovaries, and I have not found any information that talks about the women who have had hysterectomies prior to breast cancer.

Avatar f tn 3 which is one of the rare side effects. At that time I was changed to Femera, shortly after that I had vaginal bleeding so they did a D/C and 2 weeks later I started bleeding again. This time for 10 days and using super plus every hour, That is we they (dr) decided that I needed a Hysterectomy. After some research I found out that bleeding is one of the rare side effects of Femera. Yes I have had my hormones checked several times and I am offically in menapause. Any Suggestions???
Avatar n tn But all meds, even aspirin, can have side effects I take hormones because I had a complete hysterectomy. It is a personal choice as long as the patient has never had cancer or any other risk factors. I would recommend that your mom see her Gynecologist every single year for a breast exam, mammogram and of course a pelvic exam to make sure everything is fine.
Avatar f tn ve tried 3 different non HRT prescriptions (clonidin, Effexor, Cymbalta) and the side-effects are not worth the relief from the symptons. Has your doctor said anything about going on estrogen replacement? Mine is reluctant because she said it could cause endo to re-occur elsewhere in my body. are you having any menopause symptoms?
Avatar n tn Has anyone experienced highly elevated FSH many years after "total hysterectomy" and no hormone replacement therapy?
Avatar f tn I had a hysterectomy Jan.08'. Two weeks after my hysterectomy a painful lump showed up in my breast next to the nipple. It was painful and swelled up to the point where I could see it without touching it. It was very sensitive. However, it went away after 1 1/2 weeks. I am now on an all natural hrt that has done wonders for me without all the dangerous side affects of clinical hrts. What I am wondering is, should I be worried, what could have been the cause?
Avatar f tn my hysterectomy was in 2007. I have only had these recent symptoms for the last 2-3 years. I don't know where I am in menopause but one of the follicle tests showed that my levels were in the 60's when they were only supposed to be around 15. I can't take meds because it effects my burning mouth syndrome. My Hot flashes are insane.
Avatar n tn Hi, I had a total hysterectomy on April 20 (3 months ago). I had my uterus, ovaries, cervix and tubes removed due to fibroids, ovarian cysts, and endometrosis (found during the operation). I also scheduled a urologist to come in after the hysterectomy and perform a bladder suspension. I'm 55 years old and prior to surgery I had not stopped bleeding on a regular basis, so the hysterectomy was my "menopause".
Avatar n tn Does anyone happen to know if there has been a connection with too much estrogen causing more neuropathy pain?? Anyone experience the onset of neuropathy after a hysterectomy? I would appreciate any info.
Avatar n tn Can I take a lower dose or cream that would possibly lessen these side effects? I would prefer to take only the estrogen, but my doctor is concerned that it could stimulate the regrowth of endometriosis. Thank you for your feedback.
Avatar n tn Hi Donna, I was overweight after my hysterectomy and I was told the same thing about fat cells making oestrogen . I never had any HRT but never suffered any hot flushes or other menopausal symptoms . Good luck and best wishes on tuesday .
Avatar f tn As far as I understand it, how it was explained to me when I had my hysterectomy many years ago, estrogen feeds the endometriosis, so since you still have one ovary, you can still have endometriosis if, as Annie said, they left even one small piece in there.
1143127 tn?1406726153 I have not used the estrogen cream due to my concerns about breast cancer, other side effects, and also, if I go off of it; my hot flashes and night sweats will come back with a vengeance. I don't have either of those anymore. I want to use a natural or biodentical treatment rather than the normally prescribed methods. Are they actually better? What is wrong with my vagina? Is there any product that can help with the soreness, burning and itching?
Avatar m tn The surgery did provide pain relief from the painful periods, and constant fibroids, but 9 days after my surgery I started with a major depression that has not gone away. After having my bloodwork taken, my thyroid was hypo active and that was corrected. My estrogen was found to be at 0 which meant I was in menopause and we did not figure that out until at least 6 months after the surgery. The depression has been very bad.
Avatar m tn I have diabetes and blood pressure also and I have read that removal of ovaries results in oestoporosis later on. I worry that I may not have much strength after hysterectomy. Please if someone has gone through a similar case let me know what deicision to take. I don't know if I should take a second opinion to reconsider ovaries bring removed or to listen to the doctors advice.
Avatar n tn When/if someone starts to give you the horror stories you are being subjected to, tell them that you are researching all of the side benefits and side effects of having the surgery and that there is so much information out there that contradicts what you have been told ...and that you are going to be just fine. OK...getting long winded here! Try to get ahold of "The Wisdom of Menopause" By Northrop....even though you are not in menopause you will find the book very helpful.
18070169 tn?1463175914 I read some stuff on zolpidem side effects and it appeared that after my surgery some of the rare side effects started cropping up. I attributed my anxiety to that. So I quit the zolpidem ct (which I probably shouldn't have) and did have a miserable few weeks, but a lot of the pains I was feeling went away. Of course new pains showed up like a back ache, which I still have.
Avatar f tn You are right to be concerned about an increased risk of pelvic organ prolapse as well as vaginal vault prolapse after hysterectomy. But the risks and side effects of hysterectomy involve a much longer list than prolapse. I had a hysterectomy 9 years ago and speak from experience as well as the knowledge I have gained since undergoing this damaging surgery. The bladder and bowel descend without the uterus to separate them and hold them in place.
Avatar f tn So I would work with your doc both on form and dose to use the least amount and the most most bio-identical you can to reduce risk and side effects.
