I went back to work at 6 weeks post-hysterectomy and now that I've reached 3 months beyond my surgery, I am still exhausted at the end of the day. Is this related to my hysterectomy?

Many HysterSisters report still feeling fatigued during their first year following their hysterectomy. This may be related to the surgery but it may be a symptoms of other health issues.

Have you had menopause symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disturbances? Your hormone levels may need to be tested and you may need to have a conversation with your doctor about hormone replacement therapy. Having the right balance of estrogen can help you feel better.

Have you had your thyroid tested? Many women, following a hysterectomy and oophorectomy (removal of ovaries) experience problems with their thyroid. Getting on thyroid medicine can be a great help if your fatigue is from your thyroid's health.

Check with your doctor to discuss your fatigue. And come share what you learn in the HysterSisters Community Forums!
