Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy early menopause

hysterectomy

Avatar f tn s fail this many years later? Or could I be entering menopause - oh - 10 years early?? Has anyone else experienced anything like this and have been either pregnant or entering menopause? Thanks for anything you can tell me.
Avatar f tn After my complete hysterectomy a few years ago, I took Soy Menopause from Vitamin World because I couldn't (and didn't want to anyhow) take estrogen. I'm not sure if it is still available or not since I haven't needed it for the last year or so. If you can find it, I would definitely recommend it.
Avatar f tn I had a tubal ligation in 2006 and even my 4th GYN was a little concerned about me going through menopause a little early. I forgot to mentioned I had a total thyroidectomy this year 8/2010 and my body and health has not been right since the surgery. My face is thinning, I lost weight but I have been mataining the same weight of 182lbs for 2 months but I just don't look healthy.

Avatar f tn Thanks alot for that information I really appreciate it!!!
491716 tn?1211048106 Oftentimes a hysterectomy will put a woman into early menopause. Those common symptoms of menopause are due to an imbalance of hormones between the gonads (which are now producing much less progesterone) and the adrenal gland, which now needs to take up the slack and begin the produce the now needed progesterone. If this doesn't happen, a woman will become Estrogen Dominant. And that can develop into many other health concerns.
Avatar n tn I suffer painful fibroids and at the moment receiving Zolodex injections which are only licencened for up to 6mths. I have been offered the option of a transvaginal hysterectomy but I don't know what to do.Apparently, fibroids shrink during the menopause and as I am 49 next birthday, should I put myself through this op. Many thanks.
Avatar f tn s and went thru early onset menopause. I have a related condition to POTS- chiari malformation, EDS and tethered cord.....I have not been dx'd with POTS but many chiarians have been. From what I understand it is common to go from hypo to hyper with hashimoto's and the levels change randomly so we do need to keep a close eye on the free T3 and free T4 and TPO antibodies and of course TSH. I pray u get answers that r helpful.

1149921 tn?1297559913 I have hear that some women experience what is refered to as an early change or menopause following this type of operation (hysterectomy). I know that many women experience menopause in different ways. I just need to know if it possible for a women to experience some minor symptoms in her mid to late 30's and what these symptoms consist of.
Avatar f tn It could be that you are experiencing (really) early menopause symptoms. However, I'd get checked out by a doctor. I wouldn't be too concerned if you get your pap done soon. My mother went through something similar for years and assumed it was early menopause. When her pap results came back they were abnormal. It wasn't cancer, but to stop the symptoms and prevent any other complications (like abnormal cells turning cancerous in the future) she ended up having a hysterectomy.
Avatar f tn Thank you for your response, No, I have not had these levels checked , nor do I go to an Endocrinologist. I will be going to the doctor and will ask these questions regarding DHEA/cortisol levels. I am trying the higher protein and lower carbs right now and more frequent exercise(3 miles on treadmill daily.
Avatar n tn I am losing my mind here. I am 57 and have been in menopause for about 4 years and am on hormones (Activella. which is perfect for me. ) So i think. Some background.... From 12 when I first got my period to 33 I had perfect periods. No cramps. No excessive bleeding. Then one period my life changed. For the next 20 years I had life-altering cramps and hemorrage type bleeding. Anaprox alleviated the cramps and I lived on it.
274158 tn?1276347187 I have heard that your ovaries can die and cause you to go into early menopause. Pretty much my ob said that the only thing my uterus does is give me a period every month and carry a baby. I am 30 yrs old and I am not looking forward to hrt, maybe I am overreacting reading things on the internet, so hopefully someone here can give me the real deal information?? Thanks so much!
Avatar m tn m getting an early glimpse of menopause. Your body natural progression to menopause I would think would be easier to handle to some point. Best of luck to you!
Avatar f tn I get your problem your 51 you gotta be into early starges of menopause , remember it can be up to a ten year procedure. There are medications that can put you into a chemically induced menopause and yes in theory the fibroid should go away. understandable to need pain meds for now and after surgery they are so addictive I would not advise just taking them until menopause is naturally complete. ask your dr why he can not do another albation?
Avatar f tn i am past menopause. the dr is going to do a complete hysterectomy on me. will i go through menopause again. how will i feel emotionally and physically. i have adhesions so they have to open me up. please help me. i have an ovarian cyst and a thickened endometrium.
Avatar n tn Yes, if you have a total hysterectomy you will go into menopause. Your ovaries provide hormones that keep you in the reproductive stage of your life. When the ovaries slow down or stop functioning (as in a total hysterectomy) then you go into menopause. I am in menopause and dealing with hot flashes daily. My sister had chemo and radiation for breast cancer. Chemo targets fast growing cells which includes cancer cells, ovaries, and hair (which explains why you go bald).
Avatar n tn Plus, harmless conditions (minor infections, inflammation, bubble baths) can cause abnormal paps. Even low hormone levels when approaching menopause or in menopause can cause an abnormal pap. This link http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/understanding-cervical-changes/follow-up says "If you have ASC-US and are near or past menopause, your health care provider may prescribe estrogen cream. If the cell changes are caused by low hormone levels, applying estrogen cream will make them go away.
Avatar f tn Hi there. No, I don't think this is related to menopause. A typical pattern of menopause is heavier periods still on time but for shorter duration of days and eventually petering out. It sounds more like it could be fibroids or a hormonal issue. If you are bleeding excessively, please see your doctor. You need to determine exactly why and seek treatment. You should also have your iron checked. Also, 44 is early to be starting menopause.
Avatar f tn Unless you go onto hormones, you will have instant menopause symptoms. You can google "menopause" for the list.
1367840 tn?1278194075 I had a total hysterectomy 20 years ago in my early 30's. I have been on Premarin since....625mg. At 52, do I need to continue the pills? I figure I'm at or close to being menopausal. Thanks!
Avatar f tn I had partial hysterectomy May 2013, Im 47yr. Now tired, low libido and starting to but on weight. Sr checked my thyroid and watching every 3 months, still normal at this point. Friend recommended Progesterone cream. Taking it a week but woke yesterday nausea, and headache? Is that from maybe to much Progesterone??
Avatar f tn I am just wondering what other women have experienced with having a complete hysterectomy and the symptoms of menopause. I read that the menopause systems are worse for women with having surgical menopause then entering it as a normal menopause. Thanks.
Avatar f tn If your baby's are safe to come out early. Definitely do it and take care of your self. They will need you.
Avatar m tn For one, you were not told the truth about ovarian function after hysterectomy. There is a good chance (about 40%) that the ovaries will fail after hysterectomy due to the loss of blood flow. But even women who appear to have "normal" ovarian function after hysterectomy suffer with they same symptoms as you. It is a myth that the uterus is disposable after childbearing. It has hormonal, anatomical, skeletal, and sexual functions.
2074741 tn?1331880740 A full hysterectomy includes ovaries. If they are removed you will likely have to have hormonal treatment and may go into early menopause. I do think it's prudent to get your uterus removed, especially if you have no desire to try for children later on and the risk of having them grow back is high. This is only a partial hysterectomy though. As far as if you should get a full one- I have heard there is some connection between ovarian cancer and uterine cancer.
