Is it possible for your ovaries to "shut
down" after having a hysterectomy? I had
my uterus removed almost 2 years ago, and
I sometimes feel like I may be going thru
the beginning phases of menopause, which I
know cant be true, because i'm only 26.
But I have hot flashes like you wouldnt
believe, my hair seems to be falling out,
I am so moody!! My appetite is up and
down and my sex drive is non-existant.
What does this mean???

I had my hysterectomy at 24. My ovaries
shut down at 26. I had them removed last
year at 27. It is menopause you are
going through, and it sucks! I feel your
pain. I now take hrt. It has made a
world of difference in my life(and my
families lives! :lol: ). You need to
see your gyn and have her do a blood test
to check your horomone levels.

With out investigation it can not be said
you are definately going through
menopuase, it is possible and sounds like
it but with out a consultation by your
doctor we can not be 100% sure.

I am only 27 with a hysterectomy, had to
have one since the fibroids and
endotremiois was severe. Thank god I have
4 kids with my husband. But remember
menopause is when your body is not making
the hormones, if you are on any hormone
medicine then you are not in menopause.
At least this is what my dr explained to
me. Although you take me off the
medication and you best run for the hills,
I am unbearable.....But hey its their
terms......Right.....
