Can a woman who has had a hysterectomy still suffer from the menopause?


Can a woman who has had a hysterectomy still suffer from the menopause?

depends on if her ovaries were left intact
hysterectomy = surgical menopause

got it?
Yes, definitely. Menopause is caused by lack of hormonal help from the ovaries. If both ovaries were removed, she has "menopause" symptoms.

If only one ovary is left it usually is enough to offset the menopause until she reaches age where the ovary quits functioning. Sometimes, just the one ovary won't suffice and menopausal symptoms can develope.

The answer is definitely yes!
