If you just had your uterus and cervix removed your ovaries will still be functioning and you will still go through the menopause. The average age being 51.7 years. If you had your ovaries removed at the time of the hysterectomy then you would have gone into immediate surgical menopause at that time.
Hysterectomy is the removal of uterus. As natural menopause is caused by the gradual failing of the ovaries this is when menopause occurs.
See your DR
Having a tubal ligation makes no difference to your periods. If you have a hysterectomy you will no longer have periods, well not the bleeding anyway. If you do not have your ovaries removed you will still have pre-menstrual symptoms (if you have them) but you will no longer have cramps or bleeding. If your ovaries are removed as well you will go into the menopause.
Hysterectomy is only the removal of the uterus and therfore you will not go into menopause until your ovaries start failing (average age 51.7) If you have your ovaies removed at the time of hysterectomy this is an oopherectomy and you will go into immediate menopause as you will not have ovaries to produce estrogen. Menopause is a only happens once in life although can take several years fo the ovaries to degeneate.
horomonal changes No however she mayhave some of the symptoms due to changed hormone levels. Answer A radical hysterectomy will cause menopause to occur in a pre-menopausal patient. By definition, menopause is the cessation of menstruation. That it is caused by the natural decrease in hormones or by the surgical removal of the ovaries is irrelevant.
A total hysterectomy is only the removal of the uterus and cervix and therefore as the ovaries remain menopause will take its normal course. Average age is 51.7 years but can be earlier or later. If you have a bilateral oopherectomy, then you will be placed in immediate surgical menopause as there are no ovaries to produce estrogen. Speak to your doctor/surgeon regarding hormone replacement and its advantages and disadvantages.
Peri-menopause and menopause are two different things, one leading to the other. You are likely experiencing peri-menopause, which can go on for a few years before menopause actually takes place. www.menopause.org/ is an excellent site with all kinds of information about symptoms, therapies and support.
if you are still having periods, even if they are irregular, then you have not gone through the menopause yet
i am being weaned off of Premarin after taking it for 12 years for menopausal symptoms. What can i expect.
If you have a bilateral oopherectomy (removal of both ovaries you will experience hot flashes unless you use hormone replacement therapy.Having a hysterectomy per se will not lead to hot flushes unless both ovaries are removed and therefore no estrogen produced. Not all women can take hormones so this is something you need to discuss with your gynocologist.
Sweating and hot flashes are unfortunately a common side effect of menopause. These symptoms can last for years for some women and are more harsh if you consume nicotine and caffeine.
Until you hit menopause 40's-50's.
