Hi Jeanette, are you on any HRT?
I am 41 and being advised the TAH & BSO and am very confused about the HRT.
No I'm older than you so ovaries have provided protection for me past normal menopause age. I am now 55 and since op have had hot flushes which I did not have before. Thankfully they are very brief in duration lasting 30 secs to a minute but about 8 a day. I am able to ignore them. No other symptoms yet!
In hospital I met two women who after hysterectomy developed cysts needing further surgery. In your age group without family history of ovarian cancer, which I have I would seriously consider keeping them. I personally at my age do not want HRT. Hope that helps but not sure it will. Good luck.
Thanks Jeanette.
