Menopause help
I had a hysterectomy Nov.2013 in which I also had a large non cancerous tumor removed at the same time.. I did not have my ovaries removed as they were ok. Then 10 days after my surgery, I had complications, as my bowel twisted and I had to have emergency surgery to have part of my bowel removed. I almost died, but I am lucky and I feel not too bad for the most part, but I am now having problems with my estrogen. It is very very low which I expected after having my 1st operation. I have a lot of hot flashes and nausea. I also have anxiety and feel depressed at times. I am looking for any one who can give me any advice on my situation. I am 51 years old and in decent shape for my age. (5'7, 145 lbs.). Non smoker and exercise some.
You are likely more hormone deficient than women who have not had any parts removed. At least that is what the studies show. This not only makes for worse symptoms but also increases risk for a number of health problems. Hormone replacement can be a big help for symptoms and also mitigates some of the health risks.
I had hysterectomy back in 1995 I was only 29 I wore estrogen patches for ten years I had everything taken away took bad hot flushes was depressed the lo soon as I was on patches for few weeks everything settled down and I'm 50 now and feel a million dollars don't take anything anymore have u taken anything for hot flushes ? A lot of medication don't work for everyone try the patches :)

I am so glad you recovered well from both surgeries. I am quite sure that bowel made you pretty darn sick! I would see your GYN again and discuss the symptoms you've mentioned above. It might be that you need to have your need a little hormone supplementation to get you feeling better. I hope your able to get this handled quickly so your back to feeling like your young self.
