Complete hysterecyomy. no hrt. breasts are getting bigger. will they stop and/or return to pre-surgery size?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hysterectomy: A hysterectomy is defined as removal of the uterus only. If ovaries are removed, the procedure is called a total hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. If one or both ovaries were not removed, at age 44 they are producing much more estrogen than at 34 or 24, and your breasts will react to this hormone increase. If on bcp's just prior to the hysterectomy, estrogen was much lower than now.
