Hello. I am 49 and had a hysterectomy
three years ago. The only thing I have
left is my right ovary. I am
experiencing......I
think..........Horrible hot flashes. Can
one have hot flashes with just one ovary?
I am also type ii diabetic. I'm
wondering if the hot flashes could be
true.........Or is it just the diabetes?
Thanks for any answers in advance.

If you have one ovary,you still have
female hormones.You are better off with
one ovary than none.If you would have had
both removed,you would have gone into
instant menopause,which from what i've
been told is hell.It is possible to also
be the diabetes.Your best bet would be to
see your doctor to have your hormone and
blood sugar levels checked out.The hormone
levels will determine if you are going
through menopause or if you are close to
being done.Are you still getting
periods?If you are,you are not considred
done with menopause until you stop periods
for at least 6 months.Good luck to
you.Patty
