TAH/BSO: Hot flashes are usually worst during the time immediately following surgical removal of ovaries. Traditionally estrogen replacement after tah/bso, sometimes in high doses for a short time, is very helpful. My best suggestion is talk with your surgeon about recommendations to get you help.

Keep dinner moderate sized & finish at least 2 to 3 hrs >.
