Can a general anasthetic bring on menopause? I just had a hip op and it seems to have brought it on

I highly doubt your surgery brought on menapause. I've had many surgeries in my 54 years and didn't have menopause symptoms after but I will say that anesthesia will affect you for a few days after. Even after procedures where I had been under for less then an hour I still felt out of sorts for a few days after. How long ago did you have your operation?

Just a drug withdrawal. Shall pass.

Hi minana

It's funny you should say that as i had very few symptoms b4 my general anesthetic in January now i have terrible night sweats , hardly sleep and get hot flushes during the day

I don't think it acutally brought it on, timing might be coincidental. But I do know that stressful situations make my symptoms worse at times.

4 and a half weeks ago. I imagine the stress has been part of the change.
