Post Op 4 days
On July 2, I had a TLH including tubes, cervix and ovaries as my tests showed premalignant cells. Lots going on in my mind. Even wondering since we didn't find cancer, why did I have this done? And I'm just waiting for crazy things to start happening to my body. Not sure what's normal, what's not re: emotions, hot flashes, etc. etc.

Hi,
If you had premalignant cells, then it sounds like you did the right thing by having your surgery before it turned cancerous down the road.
You may or may not get symptoms of menonpause immediately and they may be mild enough where you do not have to take any hormones. You might want to take calcium supplements to help your bones stay strong, because now your body is not getting the estrogen which keep bones strong.
Here is some information on surgical menopause:
http://www.netwellness.org/healthtop...pause/faq1.cfm
I have found exercise lifts moods and circulates the hormones I do have . Hot flashes can become a problem if you eat spicy foods, caffiene, alcohol, and too much sugar. You might want to dress cool and carry around ice water if you feel warm to ward off getting hotter.
If you find you are bothered too much by symptoms give dr a call and set up appt. to discuss your options. You can research hormones and no-homrones in our Resources library before you see the doctor.
Hang in there , we all have to go through menopause sooner or later, and we had to sooner. There is no need to suffer and there are options other than hormones if you feel your quality of life is not good.
