Migraines After Partial Hysterectomy Posted: 08-08-07 19:33pm


Hi. This is my first posting. I had a partial hysterectomy in 2003. I have both ovaries and my cervix. Prior to my hysterectomy I was on birth control pills from the time I was 18 until 38. I had severe endometriosis. I started experiencing headaches shortly before my hysterectomy. I didn't think much of them. They weren't frequent or very severe. Since the hysterectomy they have gotten a lot worse. I have had MRI's and CT scans done and everything checked out normal. In the past two months I have been to the emergency room three times along with a two day hospital stay. I have been given various migraine/pain medications. My question is: Is it possible to have a hormone imbalance after a hysterectomy even though I still have my ovaries? Is it possible the 20 years I was on birth control caused me not to have the migraines? thanks

migraines after partial hysterectomy Posted: 01-24-08 18:57pm


I never had a migraine in my life until I had an emergency hysterectomy. I am 46. I have both ovaries and my cervix. It has been 12 years and the hormonal suffering continues. Recently, a neurologist at Loyola told me that I needed psychiatric counselling and not to worry about my migraines. I am going to Rush to an internal medical doctor who specializes in women's issues. Look for someone who understands women's issues. I had kidney stones a few years ago and found that most urologists do not deal with women's issues. I found a fabulous Dr. who answered all of my questions related to female urology. I will keep looking for one who will address my migraines and hormones. Do not give up. I almost did.
