Surgical menopause

It’s normal for those of us with endometrial cancer have everything removed when we have our hysterectomies. I was 62 when I had my op and never had any surgical menopause symptoms at all so I don’t think it’s a given. It’s usually when women haven’t gone through the menopause already I believe!

It's 4 weeks since my surgery with everything removed.  I haven't noticed any menopausal symptoms. I'm 72.

Good luck with your surgery.

I went through menopause naturally with loads of symptoms 9 years ago, I wasn’t warned to expect any symptoms following surgery, and haven’t had any, now 6 months post op.

Hi 

I had the same surgery in April I’m 59 advised no HRT treatment was needed. I did not have any menopause symptoms prior however have been experiencing hot flushes to date.  

I’m 4 weeks post ovary removal and 39 have experienced hot flushes but that’s about it xxx sending hugs and well wishes xxx

Hi Dormouse 

I had my hysterectomy last July at 59, I've had no menopause symptoms.  My daughter in law, who is a GP, told me I won't need HRT.

I was well through the menopause with no symptoms and after having had a full hysterectomy three weeks ago have not had any symptoms - and don't really expect any.  Good luck x

Hi Pookieboo, I'm waiting for my full hysterectomy following Womb cancer diagnosis

It should be within the next few weeks. I wanted to ask you as i'm 46 years old and the majority of ladies on here are older. I see your 39 and wanted to ask you about your experience. Many Thanks Binifer

I’m in the same boat just diagnosed and Op in next 2 weeks and I’m only 41, so haven’t started any menopause yet. I’m terrried. 

Hi Meenamoo, I really feel for you its a very surreal experience and I know my head is swirling around overthinking and trying to 2nd guess everything....Its exhausting! I'm worried about surgical menopause and what that will look like going forward but i think the best thing is to try and take each day as it comes x
