Has anyone ever sweated after a hysterectomy? |
Has anyone ever experienced seating after a hysterectomy. My mum has had it but without her ovaries being removed so no need for hormone replacement tablets. But she sweats every night when she falls asleep....experience/ideas will be appreciated! Your mom is experiencing surgical menopause and it's often quite harsh. Even though she still has her ovaries, a hysterectomy can cause them to stop functioning. Sweating/hot flashes are part of that and she'll experience all the other symptoms of menopause. It will be up to her as to whether or not she decides to persue hormone replacement. Hysterectomy is generally very safe, but with any major surgery comes the risk of complications. Such complications include blood clots, infection, excessive bleeding or an adverse reaction to the anesthesia. Other risks of hysterectomy are: Damage to your urinary tract, bladder or rectum during surgery, which may require further surgical repair Loss of ovarian function Early onset of menopause Source(s): Mayo Clinic . com A hysterectomy removes a womb, not the entire body's supply of sweat glands so there is no reason why she wouldn't sweat. Maybe she has other medical issues that need checking? It's somewhat of a myth that keeping the ovaries eliminates the need for hormone replacement therapy. Blood supply is cut off during the surgery and the ovaries can cease to function.Night sweats are part of menopause and can be eliminated with HRT. She should talk to her doctor. Many women who are going thru menopause or perimenopause will experience night sweats. Depending on her age, she may be entering menopause. How long ago was the surgery? Is she taking any meds? I had a hysterectomy in 1999 with one ovary left intact. I sweat like a lumberjack....nearly every night since. ~Night sweats and hot flashes are a definite symptom of menopause. I had a full hysterectomy which caused a "Surgical Menopause." I was only in my late 30's. I was given Estrogen, a hormone replacement pill. If your mom feels really sad or unusually angry, that's another sign. I think your mom should see a different doctor, she is experiencing symptoms of menopause and it should not be ignored. If she's not for that, there are over the counter hormones you can buy. Good luck.~ But even with her ovaries there, if she's older (older than 40-45) they may not be putting out enough hormones for her to prevent menopause from coming on anyway. It sounds like she's entering it, unfortunately. |
