Question 1

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 2

i had a hysterectomy in may , then  i had the left ovary removed in june they re-opened the incision to remove it and i get spotting every month both incisions were about 10 inches wide.i have no pain but i do have mood swings and hot flashes i'm 33 is th

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 3

i am a 41 year old woman. i had a full hysterectomy in my early 30's. i have been able to stay of hrt but lately my moods, hot flashes etc. are out of controll. do i need to consider hrt?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Assuming your ovaries were removed at the time of the hysterectomy, i would encourage you to try estrogen replacement  therapy.  You are too young to be without estrogen. No estrogen can  cause bone and vaginal problems in addition to the symptoms you describe.

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

i'm bipolar type 1 and 12 days post hysterectomy.
1.how can i manage my mood swing? 
2. can i do some exercise like yoga or just any stretch qith my l

Accepted Answer

Start with GYN MD: Start by asking your GYN MD surgeon if physical exercise of any type is O.K. or not. Secondly, if you are only 12 days post op you are probably still taking pain medication which is a mood altering drug as well. If the bi polar mood swings become unwieldy or unmanageable, then your GYN MD in collaboration with a Psychiatrist may be able to offer an alternative solution.

Question 6

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 7

i am experiencing feeling anxious that is unaffected by psychological stress, paranoid, fear of embarrassment, personality changes, nervousness, restlessness, poor concentration, rapid speech, frightening thoughts, irrational fear, mood swings

Accepted Answer

Find a life coach: Life often sends us challenges that we do not have the skills to manage. You wouldn't try to fix your bad appendix on your own &amp; shouldn't try to fix this either. You should see your doc to rule out a medical problem. If you are okay there s/he can recommend a life coach/therapist who can explore the issue &amp; teach you how to deal with this. That is what they do. Do the work &amp; life can be better.

Question 8

why do i have constant mood swings?

Accepted Answer

Diagnosis?: So many possible reasons: do you have the right diagnosis -- a medical condition like hormone imbalance, diabetes or hypoglycemia? A psychiatric problem like bipolar, borderline, anxiety, ptsd, drugs/alcohol? A lack of education or role models for coping strategies? Insomnia? You need providers you like and trust to help you sort these all out. Best wishes!

Question 9

what could cause random mood swings?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: By random, I am presuming you mean unrelated to external stimuli. Mood swings is very non-specific. Everyone has mood variability. Thyroid and other hormones influence mood and many other physical conditions can effect mood. Bipolar disorder leads to variable degrees of mood swings. If you or someone around you feels your mood swings are excessive, see a psychiatrist.

Question 10

i frequently have mood swings, are these normal?

Accepted Answer

Mood swings: in small doses happen to us all.  If they effect our functioning and comfort levels professional support may be needed.  Extreme mood swings certainly call for help from a mental health professional.  Please see your doc to check for imbalances to thyroid and other hormones.  Peace and good health.
