hysterectomy??????

I am 28 and I am about to have a vaginal hysterectomy. Can anybody explain all the after effects like weight gain. If I exercise will it keep it off? Mood swings. I’ve heard that hormone replacement therapy can calm you or make you bitchier. Someone please help……

I had my hysterectomy last September. But I kept my ovaries. Will you be keeping your ovaries. If so, you won’t feel no difference. In fact, I have a higher sex drive and I’m not as cranky as I was prior to my hysterectomy. However, I had to have a hysterectomy because I had many large fibroids. I have gained about five extra pounds, but it has nothing to do with the hysterectomy. I haven’t been doing nothing but sitting in front of the computer and watching TV. Plus, I’ve started eating these great brownie a la modes because my daughter has discovered them. lol

I tell ya, I don’t miss the periods every month!!!

I HIGHLY recommend you check out http://www.hystersisters.com. They helped me EXTREMELY with my questions and advice on hysterectomies. It’s a support group and it’s FREE.

I wish I’d found the site before I had mine. A lot of my questions and concerns would have been answered with just looking at the responses on this website. But I stumbled on the site a few days after my hysterectomy and learned of various things I should do before the surgery, things I’m entitled to at the hospital (which the hospital doesn’t tell you), questions to ask the doctor, etc. It’s an awesome site for women.

I hope it helps you, it has helped me and my family and friends

You will become moody because of early menopause, but hormones can keep it undercontrol.

but on the bright side…no more PERIODS.

I’ll refer you the following articles to explain the procedure and all of its symptoms. That last one in particular is very good at addressing the issues you are concerned about.

My wife had a full hysterectomy 5 yrs ago and followed her doctors advice to a T and has had no complications with any after or side effects of any kind. I know everybody reacts differently but if your doctor knows you on a personal level and suggests specific things for you to do. Follow his advice and you should be ok. She had all of the feelings that I assume women have before this particular surgery, fear,wondering ‘will i still feel like a woman’, and I’m not a whole woman any more.’ We have four children and I assure you she still feels like a woman. She gained no weight at all and had no mood swings following her doctors’ words. I hope this helps a little at least.

Natural Menopause Remedies

As a brief disclaimer, I am not a medical professional and I am not giving medical advice. I do not recommend self-diagnosis, nor do I take any responsibility for your choices concerning treatment of any symptoms of menopause or your use of herbs or prescription medications. This you should consult a doctor or physician about on your own if you need to.

Menopause is an inevitable stage of every woman's life, whereby the body goes through changes affecting her due to the physical, emotional and hormone changes that occur. This period of life does not necessarily have to be very painful or disturbing. It can be a liberating experience and can be both enjoyable and meaningful instead of being filled with misery.

With that said, menopause is not a disease or condition, but merely an evolving cycle in a woman's life when the child bearing years are beyond us and life has served some of it's natural purposes and our bodies must move onward to the next stage.

The better care you have taken of your body during your younger years, will affect how you will be living during later years, so try to take good care of yourself as you are moving forward in life toward this inevitable cycle called menopause.

Menopause symptoms can vary from person to person but they may include mood swings, moodiness, insomnia, weight gain, hot flashes and other symptoms. For many women going through menopause, the decrease in hormones can also increase the risk of osteoporosis and heart disease. The role of diet and exercise and other environmental factors is also important at this point in life.

The good news is there may be some natural solutions to overcoming and dealing with these un-wanted symptoms. Certain plants and herbs contain compounds called phytoestrogens. These phytoesgrogens can actually mimic a woman's own estrogen in a mild way, helping to prevent some of the symptoms and risks associated with menopause.

Soybean products such as tofu, tempeh and soy nuts contain high levels of these phytoestrogens. Many women from Asia who consume large amounts of soy based products do not have the same instances of hot flashes, nor does their rate of osteoporosis and heart disease rise as much with menopause, as it does here in the USA.

Some of the herbs that have a benefit to symptoms of menopause are Licorice Root, Black Cohosh, Alfalfa and Red Clover. You may notice a decrease in the frequency of hot flashes by taking one or more of these herbs. They can usually be found in tinctures or capsule form and are in most health food stores.
