Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Unclear: A hysterectomy refers to removal of the uterus only. Based on your history of hormone use i assume you had your ovaries removed. Menopause symptoms are variable in different women. To understand things better and to determine the best plan of action, i would recommend seeing a reproductive endocrinologist.
