New member. I had a hyster 7 years ago.
Now I am having hot flashes, trouble
sleeping, night sweats,breast tenderness.
Still have my ovaries and thought that I
would miss this boat, My doc at that time
told me my ovaries would completly shut
down w/in 3 years. Any info would be
helpful. I am 44 yo.

Having a hysterectomy where only your
uterus was removed doesn't change hormone
levels that your ovaries produce. If you
had had your ovaries removed at the time
of surgery you would have experienced
immediate menopause. I don't understand
why your dr. said the things he did -
that's not the way it works. Since you are
about in the right age range and you have
your ovaries, you are quite likely to be
experiencing some symtoms of
peri-menopause. I would go in to see your
Dr. and have blood work to determine the
levels of hormones in your body.
