Hi everyone
First post from me although have been reading lots of your questions and posts over the last month or so. I was diagnosed at the end of March and had a hysterectomy just over 2 weeks ago. Feeling lucky that everything went well and histology results have confirmed the original Stage 1A diagnosis.
One thing I would be interested to know though is other people’s experience of surgical menopause after their hysterectomy? I’m in my early 40s so was pre-menopausal before surgery. I was expecting to be hit with full on menopause symptoms pretty much straightaway but 2 weeks in and I’m still waiting for things to happen. Is this other people’s experience too? Also I’m keen to start learning about any non hormonal treatments people are using as my consultant is saying HRT is probably not going to be an option in my case.
Any thoughts appreciated!
