Hot flashes but I still have an ovary??

It has been 11 days post op and I am still getting hot flashes. Is anyone else having this problem? My gyn did not tell me if there where any side effects (hormonal) since I have one ovary left. Just wondering if this is normal.

Perfectly normal.
My DR said it could last a few months, until my ovary kicked back into functioning capacity.
Wishing you an uneventful recovery!

I had a TAH,RSO and it took about 2 weeks or so for my one ovary to kick in and until then I had hot flashes and mood swings. Boy was my hubby glad when it started working as I am not normally moody and it was a shocking change. He was awesome through it all. I am now 5 weeks out and everything seems to be working as it should. Hang in there.

I had menopause symptoms mixed in with PMS for a few months after my hyst -- so much so that my GYN and I discussed going back on bcp for awhile! Things did settle down for me and my ovaries decided to get back to work!

Give yourself a little time. Hopefully the "shock" to your ovaries wears off soon! If not, talk to your dr about your options!

The ovaries tend to 'fall asleep' following surgery. If you do a forum search on 'sleeping ovaries' you'll find lots of posts.

Mine took about 2-3 months to 'wake-up' and start functioning normally again. The timing is different for everyone, though.
