I tried to search this information but it only comes up with bilateral oopherectomy information.
I am 48 y.o., 6 years post menopausal (naturally). I have been experiencing hot flashes for 10 years (I'm soo lucky) which have been tolerable.
Ever since I had my ovary removed 8 days ago, I am having significant hot flashes.I have hot flashes all night long and at least once an hour during the day, sometimes every 20 minutes. I know it's hot out but I am in a very cool house. I can have a hot flash while standing in the air stream of the air conditioner! I do not have a fever either.
This is driving me nuts!
Do other people experience these hot flashes after a unilateral ovary removal? My other ovary is intact and appears normal in CT and ultrasound. Will these settle down soon?
