Accepted Answer

HRT: If you are spotting after a hysterectomy there is something wrong internally that you should have examined soon by your doctor. The hot flashes are a sign that the remaining ovary isn't working well enough to provide the needed estrogen. At your young age you probably need to go on estrogen supplement unless there is a good reason your doctor feels otherwise.

Question 2

is it normal to have mood swings after having a partial hysterectomy?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: I assume that when you say a partial hysterectomy that you are referring to having the uterus removed but not the ovaries.  If the ovaries remain in place there are no hormonal changes that occur.  People may have mood swings for a variety of reasons, but it would not be related to having the uterus removed with the ovaries still intact.

Question 3

are the side effects for a partial hysterectomy the same as full (still have ovaries) ie;early onset of menopause, anxiety, depression, dizziness fatigue, insomnia, memory problems, mood swings, nervousness and etc. should i pay for a saliva testing (zrt)

Accepted Answer

See regular doctors: See regular doctors for hormonal symptoms, such as primary care doctors and endocrinologists. Non-MD&#x27;s and other &quot;practitioners&quot; may talk a good talk and offer some &quot;really interesting testing&quot;, but it&#x27;s best to stick with the real thing... see a regular MD.

Question 4

what are the effects on mood of a hysterectomy with the ovaries left behind?

Accepted Answer

Minimal: Besides some emotional changes associated in some with surgery itself there are usually none.

Question 5

are menopausal symptoms common after a hysterectomy, when you still have your ovaries?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes. Menopause happens when the hormones in your ovaries run out.  So as long as you have ovaries (it doesn't matter if you don't have a uterus), you will eventually go through menopause.

Question 6

diagnosed with endometriosis during a laparoscopic for a pelvic mass. this is 25 years after my hysterectomy. still had my ovaries. common? concerned?

Accepted Answer

Endometriosis: Endometriosis would still be present after your hysterectomy since you kept your ovaries. You will want to verify that no other significant findings were present in your pathology report. Depending on your symptoms your obgyn can guide you on the potential need for other treatments or can determine if the mass was removed

Question 7

i had a hysterectomy two years ago. i still have my ovaries but i am still having pains. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Unclear: If you had a hysterectomy because of pain, and the pain continued afterwards, it is possible that your pain was not due to your uterus.  And, you should be evaluated for other causes of pain.   If you are having persistent pain that began after your hysterectomy, you should have an evaluation by your gynecologist and a pelvic ultrasound to evaluate your ovaries.

Question 8

do you still need to see a gynecologist if you have had a partial hysterectomy with one remaining ovary?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A pelvic (bimanual) exam can elicit problems such as cysts or cancer with the remaining ovary as a first line of defense for the overall betterment of your gyn health. Moreover, a breast exam can also be done as you are approaching the age of 40 for required yearly mammography.

Question 9

can a woman that has had a hysterectomy but still has 1 tube and 1 ovary still get pregnant?  age 29 good health.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: There is a very small chance of having an ectopic pregnancy in the circumstance you describe. If there are any suspicious symptoms, a pregnancy test is still appropriate.

Question 10

if i wanted a hysterectomy but kept my ovaries in tact, could i still be put into menopause?

Accepted Answer

: Not at all because your sex hormones are still normal with intact ovaries.
