Help!
I am 31 yrs old and just had my cervix and uterus out. I know what you're going through. They told me I needed a hyst. and 2 weeks later, it was out. I think being so young makes me feel a bit strange about it. I was in shock and in tears for the first couple of weeks. I knew I was don't having kids (my husband had even had a vasectomy) but I think the age thing was hard.
As far as the hot flashes, I had them too, even with both ovaries remaining. I am 4 wks today and have not had one all week. I drank Anise tea, which helps promote healthy ovaries and drank soy milk and ate tofu for estrogen. I cut out meat, which has hormones, and went on an all natural diet. I don't know if that is what helped but I feel MUCH better this week.
