Ovaries Shut Down Post Hysterectomy?

 Is it possible that my ovaries, 4 months post op, are just dormant or in shock and may begin working? How do we really and truly know if our ovaries are working? What are my options if my gynecologist doesn't believe in blood tests for hormone levels, and says they are highly inaccurate?


It is very possible for the ovaries to shut down after a hysterectomy. Doctors say that the ovaries may go into shock after surgery and that it may take a while for them to get back to normal. This can be temporary or permanent. If you continue to have menopausal symptoms, check with your doctor. He/She can run hormone level checks and prescribe HRT for you.

In addition to dealing with hot flashes, night sweats and memory losses, you can also feel like you have an “I don't care attitude about everything”, may feel a lack of interest in things that you used to enjoy. It may look like depression.

If your doctors will not test your hormones, you can try seeking another doctor’s opinion. The guessing game can be time-consuming and lead to a delay in relieving your symptoms. Some labs will accept stool and saliva samples and will send you results.

There may be a requirement to have a specialist interpret the results. It is important to state that you are not on HRT and that you want to know how your results compare to someone pre – menopausal. If you are not on HRT, be sure to let them know.
