hysterectomy

i am a 51 year old woman who had a hyst in late 20s.  Total hsyt.  I have had no relief of night sweats or hot flashes.  I will sweat in cold weather.  I will have night sweats even though i have A.C. turned down low.  Im so tired of this.  I have tried hormone treatment...to no avail.  Any comments or suggestions will be much appreciated.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Either the hormone replacement is not in the correct proportion or you have some other problem. Hence please get FSH, LH, estrogen and progesterone re-evaluated. Endocrine gland related conditions like hyperthyroidism, acromegaly and glucose control disorders (diabetes and hypoglycemia both) all result in increased sweating. Pheochromocytoma, cancers, carcinoid syndromes, tuberculosis and other infections too can cause increased sweating. It can also be due to low blood pressure. Get your thyroid and adrenal gland function tested.
Do not be over anxious about this as this will increase sweating. Easier said than done, but you have to try meditation and yoga to calm your self. Avoid too much of tea, coffee, smoking and spicy food.  Take up yoga, deep breathing exercise, and walking. Music and aerobics are also good stress busters. Drink plenty of fluids and water (not caffeine), eat fresh fruits and vegetables and keep yourself busy throughout the day
Please consult your PCP for primary examination followed by proper referral.
Take care!

Age 64 and had hyst at age 33.  Had the same problems you are having. I am now on DIM and have wonderful results.  Please do your research on this, I always read reviews and they had some very good reviews on DIM..  Been on it now for 6 months and LOVE it.  Very affordable.
