Hello again. My surgery is booked for 27th April - full hysterectomy. I’m concerned about the impact of surgical menopause. I don’t actually think I’ve been through the menopause but due to having the mirena coil my periods were patchy anyway. I’m 51.
I’ve been told I can’t have HRT. I’m very active. I’m a freelance fitness instructor (with a fat belly) but otherwise deemed to be ‘slim’ and ‘fit’. I’ve given up teaching fitness classes to focus on my own exercise regime and I’ve stopped drinking alcohol in preparation for the surgery. I’m trying (and failing) to get to bed earlier but I’ve made some positive changes.
I’ve read other posts where some women who have already experienced the menopause didn’t get symptoms but I wonder if anyone can comment on their experience or offer advice if you are/have been in my situation, particularly about getting back into exercise. Thank you x
