TLH 5 days post hysterectomy (kept one ovary): Hot flashes?????

I had my uterus, cervix fallopian tubes and left ovary removed on the 9th....could I be having hot flashes? My doc said I wouldn't have to worry about surgical menopause if I kept one ovary but I swear I have been having hot flashes. I am normally very cold natured but the past few days I feel hot from the inside out.

So you kept one ovary?
It might be sluggish.
You can have hormone fluctuations while you are healing also so that could be. Might settle out soon.
Also could be healing fevers or get checked out for infections also.
Definitely make sure to rule anything else out first. And then hopefully if its just hormone fluctuations will settle out
Take great care

Thanks didn't consider that it could be infection or something. I will call my doc in the morning.
