Not sure what country you are in but in the UK hysterectomies usually only remove the womb in women that have not yet reached menopause. Obviously it depends upon the reason but a total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of both ovaries) is rarely carried out.
You need to ask your Dr exactly what was removed during your hysterectomy. If both ovaries were removed then the Dr has screwed up or thats not an ovary showing on the scan.
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).
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 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.
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.
My story is similar to yours, although I was not polycystic and had just a very large single cyst AFTER menopause (I finished menopause naturally a bit younger than average).
My surgery story is in my profile, along with the technical name of the surgery. It is in the "about me" section. Hopefully my story will help you while you wait for more details about your own situation.
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.
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.
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.
Hello sir,
I received a full hysterectomy in 2004 and I have been in menopause every since. I have tried every over-the-counter remedy known. I also tried a very low dose of hormones and got sick with them. I am really trying to figure out a way for the " hot flashes", mood swings, and weight gain to taper off. I am 41and I am experiencing excessive facial hair, as well as body hair. This has been the worst experience for me. Do you have any suggestions for me?
I'm due for a hysterectomy next weds, mainly due to the fact I have high grade pre-cancerous cells in my cervix for the third time. I still don't know if I should keep my remining ovary or not. I lost the left one In april after a football sized mucinous ovarian cyst ruptured. I had no idea I had a cyst at all, the symptoms were digused by the fact I was pregnant but lost the baby 3 days before at 23 weeks. I had a lapratomy and was staged as 1a borderline or LMP tumor.
7 cm fibroids as well as several small ones. Will the fibroids shrink significantly after menopause? Should I consider an hysterectomy? I feel constantly full, am constipated, there is pressure on my bladder and do have very heavy and irregular periods.
It does sound like it would be the best solution. I can see what the doctor means. If they leave the ovaries, at least you wouldn't experience surgical menopause, which can be a bit brutal. But you would say goodbye to your womb. How do you feel about that? It might be a good idea, for the sake of your general health.
Fibroids naturally shrink after menopause, and often cause no more trouble, but with the kidney involvement, I would say it's best to have the surgery.
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.
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!
