FSH levels post-op check up Posted: 01-29-08 12:41pm
Hello!
I went for my 6 week post-op check up
after having a DaVinci Hysterectomy with
removal of everything except cervix. I
told doctor that I am so cold all the time
and read that I should have my hormone,
thyroid and iron levels checked. He did
the blood test and just called to tell me
everything was fine except my FSH level
was 0 and unmeasurable. Does anyone know
what this means. The doctor said that it
means I have no hormone in my body and he
upped the dose of my Vivelle Dot patch to
.75%. Does anyone else have any
information about something like this? I
thought you needed to have hormones in
your body for all sorts of body functions.
Any help would be apprectiated.

FSH is just one form of hormones in your
body. It sounds like your ovaries were
removed and you need to rely on a hormone
patch (vivelle) to supply you with
estrogen.
You can look up FSH hormone levels and
find more information. Be sure to write
down all the questions you have for your
next follow up with your doctor.
