I had a total hysterectomy in 1995; since
then, I have had several problems that are
getting worse, i.E.,
intercourse,constipation,incontinence. I
have seen 2 different doctors who both
advised it was due to low hormone and
prescribed cream - it has not worked and
the longer this goes on, the worse it
gets. Has anyone else experienced this
type of problems and, if so, can you give
me some answers or suggestions?

It sounds to me like you should check with
your Dr. I had mine in 1997 and I have
not had any of these problems but I do
know of some that have and they were told
it is due to the menopause as I hope that
you were told you go through that as soon
as the hysterectomy is done. Definitely,
talk to your Dr. And see what he/she says
as I am not a doc.
Keep us posted on what you find out.
Simcerely,

Sandy, please stop telling people that you
go throught the menopause as soon as a
hyst is done.
It is quite simply untrue.
You only go through a surgical menopause
if a) your ovaries are removed - a
bi-lateral salpingo-oophrectomy
(bi-lateral=both sides salpingo=of the
tubes oophr=of the ovaries ectomy=removal)
or b) your ovaries go into a form of shock
and shut down.
Many women, including myself, have had a
hyst and have *not* gone through or even
come near the menopause.
