hysterectomy menopause long

My GYN told me that my hormones show menopause about 1.5 years ago. This time my period started 2 weeks after the previous. And it goes on and on for more than 3 weeks now. Some days more, some days just spotting, but not even 1 day without. I've heard that it might happen in perimenopause women. Should I be concerned? Can it be something serious?

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.

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.

m wondering if any of you who have had a hysterectomy due to endometriosis, who are around my age (and were not already in menopause prior to your hysterectomy) might be able to share your experience including if you have are experiencing any life-long repercussions from this surgery and if you have any suggestions of what I might think about or ask about prior to having to have this surgery. Thank you so much Ladies!

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.

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).

d ask about something that mimics menopause. Might work great till you hit real menopause. And It would tell you if a hysterectomy would work. If your hurting outside of your period then it more than just your period setting it off. My doctor put me on depo lupron (mimics menopause) it stop my period but not my pain therefore it's really doubtful a hysterectomy would help me. If it had helped I could have kept taking it or have a hysterectomy to make it permanent.

s also a possibility that you would need hormones because you will be put in to surgical menopause. Are you having any problems now with menopause, like night sweats and mood swings? With you high HPV risk you should be getting paps done on a very regular basis. Are you taking any thyroid meds? Sorry about all of the questions but the more we know the better we can help you.

Unless you go onto hormones, you will have instant menopause symptoms. You can google "menopause" for the list.

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??

I'm sorry you've been suffering for so long! It's shocking that no doctor connected these symptoms with your hysterectomy. Hysterectomy has been shown to impair ovarian function. That impairment can be complete (as if the ovaries were removed) or partial. A woman with all her parts and in natural menopause has been shown via studies to have higher levels of hormones than women who have had hysterectomies, even those whose ovaries were not removed.

Yes it is normal for them to do that. I am 22 and am not where near menopause or hysterectomy, but my gyno put me on Lurpron for 6 months after long suffering from pain from my endometriosis. It will put you into a false menopause, but once you discontinue the injections the menopause symptoms will disappear after awhile. I will warn you, the shots were miserable for me because of the side effects such as nausea, headaches, fatigue, depression, loss of appetite, etc.

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.

I had a total hysterectomy two weeks ago. The surgery seemed to go quite well and I am up and about now. I am 44 years old and I just started feeling very sad. I also get really warm sometimes but I've been told if you're haing hot flashes you'd know it...they don't seem that bad only it is a bit uncomfortable. How soon after hysterectomy could I start feeling menopausal symptoms.

I am a 61-year old woman who had a hysterectomy at age 40 but my ovaries were left intact. Since I no longer had a period after that, it was difficult to determine exactly when menopause started. My doctor put me on HRT at age 48. I took those for 7 years and then decided to stop after all the negative reports about HRTs came out. Once I stopped the HRTs, I started with very severe hot flashes and night sweats.

Hi, I'm having a hysterectomy due to cervical dysplasia and already having 3 LEEP procedures and no cervix left.. They want to remove my ovaries at the same time. Being 63 and post menopausal for a while I thought it would be fine but now a bit concerned after reading more on the internet regarding health after.

Unfortunately, tubals can cause heavier and longer periods and most women are not told this beforehand. Most women are not told about the long-term effects of hysterectomy either which is why it is so common. Since only 2% are done for cancer in the U.S., most women would likely forego having a hysterectomy if they knew the truth beforehand. You are right to be concerned about an increased risk of pelvic organ prolapse as well as vaginal vault prolapse after hysterectomy.

For one thing, if you are going to lose your ovaries during this hysterectomy (called a complete or Radical hysterectomy) then you are losing a source of estrogen and testosterone. Your ovaries will continue to 'drip' some estrogen.. estradiol... until you are about 75 or 80. Your ovaries will also continue to drip some testosterone until you are about age 75. Of course, you won't get much in the way of these hormones but you get some.

So, what never should have happened again, affective illness (postpartum psychosis after the birth of B____) has happened again as a more severe case of affective illness because of the combination nontargeted embolization of the ovaries from the UAE and induced menopause (hysterectomy). The only reason she had the hysterectomy was to eliminate the fibroid, because the UAE did not work.

When I had my hysterectomy, my gynecologist took the works out. I'm talking the ovaries (well one, I had the other one removed last Dec.), uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes. The procedure he used was called lavh, laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy. I feel a lot better for it though. For me, I have a family history cervical and uterine cancer, which why the gynecologist took out everything. From what I understand though, there are other cancers us women can get.

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.

Do you think then that by having a hysterectomy, when you did get the menopause it was smoother, that you weren't that much aware of it, coz that's what it sounds like you're saying. That you found it a suprise that you are post menopause. I might be wrong, that you don't mean that. But if it is the case, it sounds like hysterectomy might well help me with the other awful meno symptoms not just the bleeding.

I had a total hysterectomy in 2007. Due to a seizure issue, I was not able to take HRT. I used a menopause formula from Vitamin World. I still had to deal with some hot flashes, etc. but, overall, I was very happy with how it worked for me.

Can you still have menopause 7 years after Hysterectomy. I have a list of symptoms as long as my arm, the main ones being really bad fatigue, vaginal dryness/itching, aching joints, mood swings, sudden tears, hot sweats, headaches, and no energy to name a few - I feel like i´m going mad. I did not really have any symptoms after my operation but as the years have gone on there is definately something happening and it´not nice. Any advice would be appreciated.
