Can you still have hot flashes after a hysterectomy?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

As a total hysterectomy is removal of the uterus and cervix only your ovaries will still produce the eggs and you will go into menopause when your ovaries start failing (average age 51.7 yrs)

If you have the ovaries removed then you will go into immediate surgical menopause due to lack of estrogen and the time varies for each individual as it does for those retaining their ovaies.
