A member asked:
I had a total hysterectomy on 2-26-15 and my doctor left my ovaries and my doctor said my ovaries are working but i still have hot flashes?

Not unusual.: Many women have hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause long before they actually go through menopause. If the symptoms persist or become intolerable you might want to discuss treatment options with your doctor. Hope this helps.
