post-op concerns
I am scheduled for a TLH on feb 22. I get to keep my ovaries. I was wondering if I will experience menopausal symtoms after surgery. I would really appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

Re: post-op concerns
You might if your ovaries go to sleep temporarily after the surgery. I kept my ovaries and I did have an increase of hot flashes. Mind you, I had them before the surgery as well as I am perimenopausal. In the last week or so, they seem to be slowing down a bit. Hope this helps.

Re: post-op concerns
I had my TVH w/ovaries kept..I did have cysts removed from each ovary as well. I have experienced hot flashes (as well as extreme cold spells) about 5 days post surgery. The nurse at my docs office told me that the ovaries can go to sleep for awhile after surgery, as well as, your uterus does give out some hormones and you can experience symptoms from that as well.

Re: post-op concerns
I had an LAVH and have had no hot flashes, mood swings or other "hormonal" problems. As with all things, everyone is different, but you might notice no real change in that regard.

Re: post-op concerns
My ovaries stayed but like so many other women, I've had mild hot flashes as they wake back up.

I had a TLH/BSO back in Oct and I don't get the hot flashes that some people do. I get warm every once in awhile, but I always have.
