Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy hot flashes
hysterectomy
I am 60 years old, had a complete hysterectomy 21 years ago, and I am NOW having hot flashes!
Why, at this age? I recently stopped (properly) taking Peroxitine. Surely that has nothing to do with the hot flashes. I wake several times during the night, can't seem to stay asleep all night. I am TIRED!
075mcg generic levothyroxine for the past 6 yrs. I am also past menopause but continue to have hot flashes. they subside for a while but about every 3 months or so come back w/ a vengeance. i am taking various menopausal vitamins and supplelments, but those have stopped working and again the flashes are back. i am now beginning to wonder if the hot flashes are related to the thyroid and not menopause. Would taking a brand name rather than a generic drug help?

I recently had a total hysterectomy. I was about 4 years post menopausal and had mild hot flashes. After the hysterectomy my hot flashes are worse which doesn't make sense to me. I'm wondering about using progesterone cream. Anyone have a similar experience? I'm 60 years old and in otherwise good health. I'm not on any prescription medications.
I am pretty much the same. Had a hysterectomy in 1989 aged 42 and started having hot flashes at age 49. Was prescribed HRT and they stopped the flashes. Stayed on HRT until doctor advised they weren't good for me.15 years later. I stopped the HRT and within a few weeks the flashes had started back severely. I saw the doctor and said my quality of life had diminished to zero so he said to go back on them. Another 2 years on and another doctor has said to get off them again.
after my hysterectomy 2 years ago i have hot flashes and night sweats it is severe i have tried everthing at the wal mart pharmacy over the counter nothing is working im going crazy pls help me on wat to do
t have an answer but just knowing so many other women have this issue makes me feel better. I am actually almost 70 years old and have had these painful night time hot flashes for many years. I had a complete hysterectomy at age 34 after a dangerous miscarriage. I was on hormone therapy till age 60 when my doctor said it was time to wean off them. The hot flashes were so bad just after a week or so that I went back on hormone therapy for another 2 years.
I had a complete hysterectomy when I was 31 yr i had yrs of hot flashes and i was on HRT for 11 yrs. 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 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.
I had a complete hysterectomy 6 years ago because my ovaries we bad. I started the hot flashes the second I woke up from anesthetic. I still have the quite frequently and I was wondering if any one knows when they will stop they are really starting to bug me.
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.
Some women don't get hot flashes. If you do start getting them talk to your Dr about hormone therapy. Are you doing alright 11 days post-op? Are you following Drs orders and taking things easy?
Sorry to hear about the hysterectomy. You may still have enough hormones in your body explaining the mild symptoms (hot flashes). So taking the HRT may have given you too much estrogen thereby causing the headaches.
I also had a hysterectomy and did not start HRT until around 6 weeks post-op even though I was not having many symptoms (the main one being inability to sleep).
Hi. My doctor told me that although I'm having a hysterectomy on Tuesday, they don't want to start on hormone therapy until I demonstrate signs that I need them. I am 46, and they say that although I was pre-menopausal prior, it is better to wait and see if I "need" the hormone therapy. If we experience uncomfortable hot flashes & other signs of trouble, then they start the therapy. The oncologist also told me something I had never heard before.
