Hot flashes: Hot flashes and sleep disturbances will likely be unmistakable. You are not likely to miss the signs, even without the signs of bleeding irregularities (that you will not experience since you have had a hysterectomy).

See your OB/GYN : There are some simple hormone tests that will help determine if you are in menopause. Your doctor can also review your symptoms.

Hot flashes, others: The hormonal changes of menopause can lead to hot flashes, mood changes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and others. If you have any of these symptoms, blood tests with your gynecologist can determine if you are entering menopause. And there are many medication options to help if necessary.
