How long will you go into menopause after your hysterectomy?

Hysterectomy itself does not cause menopause.Some studies have shown that it may bring forward slightly. Removal of BOTH ovaries will result in immediate (surgical) menopause. It is the ovaries failing that causes the menopause and mean average age is 51 although this can be earlier or later


Hysterectomy - series?

Normal anatomyThe uterus is joined at the cervix to the vagina and by the fallopian or uterine tubes to the ovaries.IndicationsA hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus, resulting in the inability to become pregnant (sterility). May be done through the abdomen or the vagina.Hysterectomy may be recommended for:severe, long-term (chronic) infections (pelvic inflammatory disease)severe inflammation of the lining of the uterus (endometriosis)tumors in the uterusuterine fibroids, cancer of the endometriumcancer of the cervix, cancer of the ovarysevere, long-term (chronic) vaginal bleedingProcedureHysterectomy is a very common operation. The uterus may be completely removed, partially removed, or may be removed with the tubes and ovaries. A partial hysterectomy is removal of just the upper portion of the uterus, leaving the cervix and the base of the uterus are left intact. A total hysterectomy is removal of the entire uterus and the cervix . A radical hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus, both fallopian tubes, both ovaries, and the upper part of the vagina.A hysterectomy may be done through an abdominal incision (abdominal hysterectomy) or through a vaginal incision (vaginal hysterectomy).AftercareMost patients recover completely from hysterectomy. Removal of the ovaries causes immediate menopause and hormone replacement therapy (estrogen) may be recommended.The average hospital stay is from 5 to 7 days. Complete recovery may require 2 weeks to 2 months. Recovery from a vaginal hysterectomy is faster than from a abdominal hysterectomy. If the bladder was involved, then a catheter may remain in place for 3 to 4 days to help the bladder pass urine. Moving about as soon as possible helps to avoid blood clots in the legs and other problems. Walking to the bathroom as soon as possible is recommended. Normal diet is encouraged as soon as possible after bowel function returns. Avoid lifting heavy objects for a few weeks following surgery. Sexual activities should be avoided for 6 to 8 weeks after a hysterectomy.Reviewed ByReview Date: 02/28/2011David Zieve, MD, MHA, Medical Director, A.D.A.M., Inc., and Susan Storck, MD, FACOG, Chief, Eastside Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound, Bellevue, Washington; Clinical Teaching Faculty, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of Washington School of Medicine.
