🪷 WHAT IS SURGICAL MENOPAUSE?
Surgical menopause occurs after a total hysterectomy (which is when a woman has her uterus, cervix, ovaries, and fallopian tubes removed) or partial hysterectomy (removal of the uterus or ovaries only, leaving part of the womb and/or cervix intact).
While natural menopause is gradual and occurs over a period of time, surgical menopause is rapid because there is a sudden and dramatic change in hormones.
Some women don’t experience any symptoms after surgical menopause, but many women do, and these symptoms come on rapidly and sometimes aggressively.
Hot flushes are the most common and vary from occasional to extremely frequent, some lasting all day and night, which can lead to broken sleep patterns, fatigue, dehydration and low moods.
Many women will be prescribed HRT after surgical menopause, but in some cases, this is not suitable possibly due to medical complications.
Other symptoms include low moods, disturbed sleep, vagina discomfort, loss of libido, bladder incontinence and UTI’s and changes to skin, hair and nails.
As well as HRT, a healthy, balanced diet with plenty of protein, fibre and calcium can support your body during and after surgical menopause, as well as reducing alcohol intake and processed foods. Gentle exercise (once you have been given the go ahead from your surgeon or doctor) will help reduce your symptoms and also strengthen your pelvic floor and muscles
