Menopausal symptoms after surgery?
Hi,
I am scheduled fro a TAH-BSO 10/30/02. When can I expect the hot flashes and other symptoms of Menopause to start after surgery?? I have this vision in my head of waking up in the recovery room with , as my dd
puts it "an attitude with hot flashes"
( not a pretty sight). I want to prepare my dh for anything and everything.

Everyone is different
Hi Janie. Everyone is going to be different with what happens to them after surgery. But in my case, I did not experience hot flashes and sweats until about 10 days after surgery. I just don't recall getting anything until then. I had the same surgery that you are going to have. I started a natural hormone 2 weeks after surgery, and I still experience a little bit of hot flashes and sweats. Nothing too bad, though. I get them \roughly 10 times a day, and they last about 10 seconds or less. But my mood is good, and I seem to have lots of energy. I, like you, wondered how I'd be as soon as I went into surgical menopause, and for me, nothing happened in the way of hot flashes right away, except that my moods were from one extreme to the other, and every little thing seemed to be amplified and made me cry and made me angry. That pretty much stopped or slowed way down once my hormones kicked in.
I wish you all the best on your surgery and your recovery.
Teri

Menopausal symptoms after surgery?
Teri,
thanks for your reply. What kind of natural hormone are you taking?

Menopausal symptoms after surgery?
Estrogen is stored in body fat and released slowly after removal of the ovaries. It can take awhile for menopausal symptoms to rear their ugly head. I've seen old posts here where women report menopausal symptoms in a day or two. Personally, I didn't have any hot flashes until about 2 weeks post-op and they haven't been bad. Some women decide to start HRT before they have symptoms. I am trying to hold off on starting HRT for at least 6 months, to give any microscopic endo a chance to burn itself out.
Here's a link on HRT and surgical menopause that another hystersister recommended on another thread. Hope this helps!

Wishing you smooth recovery,

Menopausal symptoms after surgery?
I am 2 weeks post op today. I had a SAH/BSO and was still having my periods before surgery. I have still not had any menopause symptoms. I had endo so my Dr. would like to hold off on estrogen if possible. I guess I had a store of estrogen that my body is using. I keep waiting, but nothing yet!!
