I had a hysterctomy 3 years ago and my ovaries were left because my doctor said they were still healthy and I was too young to be on HRT. But it seems that since then I have hot flashes and mood swings. I'm even feeling pain in my abdomen and back a few times a month like I'm ovulating.
Are there any over the counter meds that can help with hormonal imbalance?? I've had my hormones checked by my regular doctor and they are always normal. But I know what I am feeling and its beginning to become a huge pain in my as*!

Ask UR Doc 2 check UR Thyroid.
Symptoms R all so similar.
Menopause has been known 2 start within months of a hysterectomy because they check the ovaries & the Ovaries really don't like being handled.
Have a good chat with UR GP/MD/Doc & ask 4 some tests.

Your ovaries may not be functioning properly even though your hormone levels are normal. The docs tried to leave a half of my ovary in me but the poor little thing just couldn't work. I would feel a pulling sensation whenever it would try to ovulate and it was very painful. I finally convinced them to take it out because it just wasn't helping me. I've been on HRT for 5 years now and it works well for me.
Estroven is a great natural HRT and may help with your problems, if the feelings persist, insist for a second opinion, you deserve nothing less.

Oddly enough, I had this same thing. The hormones fluctuate so much it is like a fluorescent light trying to go out. I passed on the hormone replacement and tried Zoloft, an antidepressant and seritonin reuptake drug. It worked GREAT. All the PMS stuff was gone.

Have the doctor check for cysts. This can cause the symptoms that you are feeling and they aren't necessarily serious most non cancerous cysts cause these symptoms and resolve themselves eventually. But in most cases they tend to reoccur, and for some women it is like clock work, just like a menstral cycle.

You might also try a progesterone cream (available at health food store)..this helped my sister with terrible hot flashes..good luck!
Doctors and their tests do not know everything. You are wise to listen to your body :-)
Also pharceutical HRT are not good for you and are made from pregnant horse urine. Natural herbs go to the root cause and not the symptoms and actually cure rather than being paliative in nature. They are also much safer.
Only use organic and wild crafted herbs (in the wilds) as they are 8-10 times higher in pytochemicals that prevent and cure disease and not altered like many nonorganic herbs.
Also in almost all cases, use a tincture (or even a tea--decoction or infusion-- {depending on the hardness of the plant--flowers and leaves are steeped by pouring boiling water over them and hard berries, stems and roots are boiled in steam distilled water for 15 minutes}.
.Always use distilled or steam distilled water for herbal teas as it is empty and pulls more chemicals out of the plant.
It is very difficult to absorb herbs in capsules, tinctures are better.
