has anyone ever sweated after a hysterectomy?

Question

Has anyone ever experienced seating after a hysterectomy. My mum has had it but without her ovaries being removed so no need for hormone replacement tablets. But she sweats every night when she falls asleep....experience/ideas will be appreciated!

my mums in her early 40s and had the surgery last week monday(4th/06).....

Answer 1

Your mom is experiencing surgical menopause and it's often quite harsh. Even though she still has her ovaries, a hysterectomy can cause them to stop functioning. Sweating/hot flashes are part of that and she'll experience all the other symptoms of menopause. It will be up to her as to whether or not she decides to persue hormone replacement.

Hysterectomy is generally very safe, but with any major surgery comes the risk of complications. Such complications include blood clots, infection, excessive bleeding or an adverse reaction to the anesthesia.

Other risks of hysterectomy are:

Damage to your urinary tract, bladder or rectum during surgery, which may require further surgical repair
Loss of ovarian function
Early onset of menopause

Answer 2

~Night sweats and hot flashes are a definite symptom of menopause.
I had a full hysterectomy which caused a "Surgical Menopause." I was only in my late 30's. I was given Estrogen, a hormone replacement pill.
If your mom feels really sad or unusually angry, that's another sign. I think your mom should see a different doctor, she is experiencing symptoms of menopause and it should not be ignored. If she's not for that, there are over the counter hormones you can buy.
Good luck.~

Answer 3

Many women who are going thru menopause or perimenopause will experience night sweats. Depending on her age, she may be entering menopause. How long ago was the surgery? Is she taking any meds? I had a hysterectomy in 1999 with one ovary left intact. I sweat like a lumberjack....nearly every night since.

Answer 4

It's somewhat of a myth that keeping the ovaries eliminates the need for hormone replacement therapy. Blood supply is cut off during the surgery and the ovaries can cease to function.Night sweats are part of menopause and can be eliminated with HRT. She should talk to her doctor.

Answer 5

Hello,
Hyperhidrosis, also known as polyhidrosis or sudorrhea means excessive sweating; sweating too much
The most active regions of perspiration include the hands, feet, armpits and the groin area because of a relatively high concentration of sweat glands in those areas.
There are two types of hyperhidrosis. Primary focal hyperhidrosis refers to overactive sweat glands that affect certain areas of the body, such as the hands, feet, face or underarms.
This form of hyperhidrosis can't be prevented and isn't contagious because it was probably inherited (although the condition may skip a generation). Secondary generalized hyperhidrosis is total body
sweating prompted by secondary medical conditions or medications.

Answer 6

Usually a total hysterectomy will send the person straight into menopause, thus causing the sweats. The symptoms may not be full on to start with but it happens at any age.

http://www.ylcf.org/hormone-imbalance/06...

hot flashes /flushes are on this list ..

At www.hormoneprofile.com Jennie Mill's used to have her story and two T-shirt nights

Your mum may have her ovaries but it doesn't mean that her hormones are in balance. Hormones can be unbalanced at any age between puberty and "100"

The only reliable way to check hormone balance is have a saliva test.

As a preliminary do the on line hormone tests at www.hormoneprofile.com or www.johnleemd.com

If as I suspect they recommend you obtain hormones please have a saliva test done see www.npis.info or www.salivatest.com. A saliva test will check out active hormones something that blood tests do not.

http://www.abc2health.com/prog-saliva-no...

The WHO (World Health Organisation) uses saliva tests.

There is a list of doctors at www.npis.info who are aware of the benefits of natural progesterone they may be more helpful than your GP. You are about to educate your GP :-)

search the web for "natural progesterone hysterectomy"

e.g.
http://www.intimate-balance.com/1hysterectomy.html or
http://www.johnleemd.com/store/nat_progesterone.html

Natural progesterone means natural to humans i.e. identical to that produced by the human body.

Any progesterone you buy must be natural progesterone USP. USP means United States Pharmacopoeia. Wild yam is that wild Yam the body will not convert it to progesterone

Do not take fake/patented progesterone/progestins manufactured by the drug companies they will be of NO benefit.

If a hormone is suggested by the saliva test please take the dose suggested for you. Size 10 shoes are not twice as good if you have size 5 feet.

I hope this helps

Answer 8

But even with her ovaries there, if she's older (older than 40-45) they may not be putting out enough hormones for her to prevent menopause from coming on anyway. It sounds like she's entering it, unfortunately.

Answer 9

I had a hysterectomy 19 years in the past, tried all the prescription drugs and ultimately stumbled on a doctor to prescribe bio-comparable hormones which you get from a compound pharmacy. The scientific expert has to jot down it up, notwithstanding it particularly is a existence saver. it particularly is a lotion you placed on your forearms as quickly as an afternoon and you experience solid. My scientific expert informed me to purely take a low dose aspirin because of the fact the main side outcomes of hrt's are that it thickens your blood which ends up in strokes, and so on. hit upon a compound pharmacy and that they could advise a doctor which will write the prescription for you. do no longer hear on your scientific expert whilst he says each and all of the side outcomes are merely an element of aging. stay your existence totally. solid luck.

Answer 10

A hysterectomy removes a womb, not the entire body's supply of sweat glands so there is no reason why she wouldn't sweat. Maybe she has other medical issues that need checking?
