25 days post hysterectomy & BSO: lightheaded, nausea, vomiting and hot flashes

Hi I'm twenty-five days post-op, surgery went great I was in at seven a.m. had a TLH ,out six p.m. no problems Week 3 started having light headness nausea than episode of vomiting and hot flashes called my doctor she wants to wait and see how I do next few days doesn't want to put me on anything and I'm afraid both ovaries removed. The hot flashes are terrible can a sister get some help.

Sounds horrible. I understand getting your hormones balanced on replacement therapy is difficult. I don't have any info to offer, but you have my moral support.

I dealt with my ovaries trying to restart for about 8 mos. they finally did but I have the distinct privilege of getting to go through menopause twice!! .

I hope all goes well for you and those pesky hormones straighten themselves out without too much fuss.

Btw - brook stone has the fan that slips under your sheet and blows right on you. I use it all the time!! Going through my second bout of meno now so can definitely relate!!

Thankyou sister I'm going to try evening primrose oil

Thankyou to all my sisters for responding.before the surgery I had mild hot flashes now I can't even handle having clothes on. 52 and burning up.

Consider hormone replacement with bio identical hormones. They are made in a compounding pharmacy, just for you. I was on them before my surgery, as I was quite post menopausal. Find a doctor who works with them by looking for compounding pharmacies in your area on the internet.
