I am 35 and have had a hysterectomy. I am having major hot flashes. It can be 0 degrees and I have the air and fan on high and still sweat profusely. I have tried ERT but the pills make my sick and the patches won't stay on because I sweat so much. My doctor refuses to give me shots. Can anyone help me? Also to those who have had a hysterectomy--do you now feel less of a women since you don't have your parts?

From experience, I can tell you to hang in there. Obviously you had your ovaries removed, therefore if you choose to not take hormones - you will be miserable for quite some time. It has been three years since my hysterectomy-oopherectomy, so I can tell you that it will get much better. I can not take hormones so I have tried many alternatives. I've tried St. Johns Wort, green tea, soy, many over the counter menapause combinations and none of them have worked for me. The only thing that has helped is wellbutrin. Which is a antidepressant and it does help (somewhat) with hot flashes. If you notice, everytime you have a hot flash, you also have a wave of depression. Also, a good 20 minute walk every morning would do you some good. Be sure to drink lots of water every day. Now that you are in menapause, you will have a tendency to get bladder infections. If you are worried about feeling less of a woman, don't worry about that. Everything will be different for a year or two, but your body will return mostly back to normal. I am 35 also, and in full menapause so I can relate to how you feel. When it gets to where you think you just can't take it any more, just keep in mind, that you are living a pain free life.

You are in per-menopause if you still have your ovaries this is what is winding down. Ask the doctor about low dose birth control. They have a vaginal ring now that you can wear for 3 weeks and off 1. You have to dress in layers. I wore a sleeveless tank top presentable in public with a shirt over it. Then its a matter of off and on as needed. Hope this was helpful.As far as womanhood is concerned your mourning the loss of being able to have an other child. Even though a baby may be the farthest thing from your mind right now I went through the subconscious mourning of loss of futility. It may last for a while but as long as you know what it is you will be able to control it. It will finial go away when your first grand child is born. At 40 you will be worse than a teen age boy when it come to libido.Tell you partner to start stocking up on Viagra now because he wont be able to hold you down. Good Luck
