What happens and what can happen after a removal of both uterus and ovaries? im offered a surgery but hormons?and what changes?sex?thoughtfull..

Surgical Menopause: Removal of the uterus with or without the removal of the cervix(mouth of the womb) only affects your ability to get pregnant and carry a child. The removal of the ovaries willl cause a loss of hormones including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone which can cause hot flashes, sleep disturbances, decreases in sex drive, and vaginal dryness without hormaonal replacement via prescription.

Menopause: You will become menopauseal immediately, unless you are already menopausal, in which case your symptoms will very likely be fairly minimal after the surgery. Either way, after menopause, if you have no contraindications to taking estrogen, you will be healthier and will live longer if you take estrogen replacement after menopause.

Depends: Surgical menopause can range from mild to severe. In addition to hot flashes, insomnia, emotional lability - the usual symptoms of menopause - it may cause loss of libido (decreased sex drive, anorgasmia). All can often be treated well with hormone replacement therapy (hrt) in appropriate patients. You need to see someone who knows more about HRT than what he/she read in time magazine, however.

Menopause: Taking out only the uterus will just stop your period. Taking out the uterus with your ovaries will result in no periods, plus hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings which can be helped by hormones. Without the uterus, orgasm changes a little. Without uterus or ovaries, you can have vaginal dryness, changes in desire and arousal.

Not to Worry: If you need hysterectomy and depending on age and ovarian function, choose to have the ovaries out also, you will be fine if good attention is placed on hormone replacement. I am a big proponent of HRT and think the vast majority of women highly benefit from it's use. If ovaries are out, systemic estrogen, vaginal estrogen and possibly testosterone should be given and monitored.
