Surgical Menopause Symptoms Ovaries

As of January 5, 2009 I have no ovaries, which means no hormones, how long after surgery would I get ?

symptoms from menopause. I did not have cancer, I lost one ovary in 1991 due to a dermoid cyst and this ovary was removed due to infection in the tube and enlarged ovary and adhesions. I'm 38 years old and any advice on HRT would be great. I would really like answers from women who had Surgical Induced Menopause or personal knowledge of hrt to answer. Thanks!

I had a hysterectomy at the age of 46 and was already having Hot Flashes, which increased immediately. I used estrogen patches for a year and decided to use nothing. About 10 months later started using premarin and stayed on it for 7 years, but stopped due to the breast cancer scare from hrt. My advise would be to wait and see what kind of reaction you have and then decide with your doctor the best solution based on your particular problems. I have been totally off of medicine for some time now and sometimes still have an occasional hot flash but nothing I can't live with.

hope this helps..
