PMS?

[opie74]

I had my surgery in May, it is now November.  My overies are still here.  I am having the same symptoms of PMS that I used to pre-op on a regular 4-week basis.  I never really thought about the fact that my overies are still here, and so is the PMS!  Darn it! :-)

Hey i had a full Hys and i am exactly the same as you. I have been backwards and forwards to the doctors but i have no answers. If you find any please let me no.

Thank you for your answer. I am 37.  I have had some hotflashes since surgery and my OBGYN gave me estrogen patches.  They have helped the hotflashes.  The PMS ia ma referring to is the emotional stuff.  I still have 3 days of incredable grumpyness and then 2 days of crying.  This is the exact same pattern as when I had a period.  I wonder if the estrogen patches are making this worse?

HI,
As ovaries have been preserved the surgery should not worsen your PMS symptoms. However as the symptoms were also there before surgery that means that this is more an age related problem, although you have not given your age. Or it could be hormonal imbalance, stress or due to associated conditions. Consult your Doctor for further evaluation.
Take care and good luck.
