Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy and night sweats
hysterectomy
I never had night sweats with menopause and have a hysterectomy. My sheets, pillow and nightgown are soaked every night for over a month, but I am cold. I kept forgetting to tell my doctor. I am calling tomorrow. Not to jump to conclusions, but I read that this is a sign of lymphoma. I just had a CT Scan and they said my lymph nodes were fine. Has anyone else had this with cancer in general. I was on Carbo/taxol, but it has been a month off and now am 5 days into Doxil.

I had laproscopic hysterectomy 7 yrs ago, I'm 43good now. Never took any medicine or hormones after. No problems. Now I'm having miserable hot flashes and night sweats. Is this menopause?
I am 5 weeks post op after hysterectomy but after suffering a few night sweats, my doctor gave me Premarin oral HRT. It is 5 days now and although the night sweats have eased, my acne has become worse. My doctor said that this eostrogen alone hrt may help the acne, do I need to give it chance? Is it normal to get worse before better?
I had hot flashes and night sweats for a good 10-12 yrs after my hysterectomy. I finally got my doctor to admit that they no longer had anything to do with menopause, but he wasn't willing to try to find out what was causing them.
When I was 58, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, but he refused to test for Hashimoto's. I didn't get that diagnosis until a couple years later by a different doctor.
To put your mind at rest I would ask your doctor for a blood test, which could be screened for lymphoma, etc... When it comes back negative, you will feel easier about this. Also you could ask to be screened for T.B.
However, my honest opinion is that these sweats are caused by menopause. I had night sweats perimenopausally (since my late 30's actually) and I still get them now on occasion, and there is nothing else wrong with me.
t drink ANY coffee BUT I did drink Iced Tea (ALL of the time) and she suggested that I stop as the Caffeine would cause the Night Sweats and OTHER symptoms. SOOO I quit ALL caffeine and within a week and a half to two weeks ALL symptoms had ceased!!! IF you can handle NO Caffeine then you MIGHT be able to help your symptoms a GREAT deal!!!
I wish you the VERY best and PLEASE let me know if it helps!!........Sherry
PS I KNOW how difficult it is to give up the caffeine.
If you are still cold a lot, it is likely that it does have something to do with the WD of the vicodin. (cold AND sweats) I had a hysterectomy a few weeks ago, and I have had HORRIBLE nightsweats since then. I had a hard time telling what was causing it, but I know now that it can't be drug withdrawal. It's been too long!!!
2. Has anyone else have sweats 2 weeks after their hysterectomy and everyone around them is cool or even a little cold???
Menopause is usually diagnosed "after the fact," when a woman has not had a menstrual period for 12 months. However, since you had a hysterectomy 20 years ago, this is not an option. Instead, a blood test known as a follicle stimulating hormone (or FSH) test may be used in conjunction with your symptoms to better assess whether you are transitioning into menopause.
Hi Purple, After your hysterectomy, did they not put you on HRT, as this would have sorted your hormones out, because that would have stop you hot flushs and night sweats, thats if you were a good candidate, or you could try Black Cohosh.
I don't think there is any scientific data showing that hcg will do anything positive for your hot flashes; those are most likely due to being pushed into "instant menopause" from your hysterectomy. I had a hysterectomy, also, many years ago and went through the same thing. There are other supplements you could try that might be more beneficial than hcg. You might talk to your doctor about taking black cohosh.
Hi there, I have answered tons of questions about hrt and researched it extensivley. I am not a dr but have had a hysterectomy, and a bso. also have been CL here for quite some time, kearned much from others experiences, I can say with 100 % certainty that I personally think premarin is the WORST choice for hormone replacement. Could not begin to tell you how many have reported same as you. Premarin is made from urine of a pregnant horse.
I'm 30 and get night sweats and have since I had my first endometriosis surgery when I was 16. Its horrible. I really think it has more to do with the surgeries for me, they swear my female hormones are still working, but I am not convinced. My mom wanted me to start that OTC pill to combat the symptoms, but I wouldn't. I have enough problems. The thyroid situation came up this year and I still don't know what that's about.
I've been searching for hours looking for someone with simliar problems. Hopefully we can compare notes. I had a total hysterectomy July 2008. I am 56 yrs old. It was thought I had ovarian cancer but the post op tissue testing was shown to be advanced & extreme endometreosis. I never had any pain or period problems. So I was put in "surgical menopause" overnight. I have never had any bleeding so I do think you should talk with your doctor about that.
I am now 50 and still have the occasional hot flash or night sweats it gets better with time the generalized weak feeling and frequent urination i think comes with the change of life which you'll probably go thru slowly. Take care and go slow but if your lightheadedness don't stop tell your dr maybe your meds are too strong or not strong enough. Good luck!
i just recently within the past week had a partial hysterectomy with one ovary and uterus remove. I am having hot flashes and chills along with night sweats.
I had a complete hysterectomy 5 years ago at the age of 41. I had alot of trouble with hot flashes soon afterwards so I was eventually put on hormones, and have been on the same kind and same dose ever since. I didn't have any hotflashes at all the first 4 years I was on the hormones, but now in the last year I have been having problems at night. I don't have any hotflashes during the day, but as soon as I lay down to go to sleep they start.
Keep in mind that antidepressants frequently cause night sweats. I get them from Lexapro and Celexa, for example. So medication can cause the same symptoms as anxiety. One thing you might try is dividing the Zoloft dose in two -- sometimes that levels the side effects and keeps a steady amount in your bloodstream.
