Patient's question:
I had my uterus removed three years ago, and sometimes I don't sweat for a few months.：How many years after a hysterectomy does menopause occur?Doctor's answer:
Hysterectomy has nothing to do with menopause. The recurrence of menopausal symptoms is related to the secretion of ovarian hormones. When ovarian function declines and the level of sex hormones in the blood increases, it can affect a woman's endocrine function, leading to dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. Although the uterus is removed, the ovaries are still present, but without menstruation, which does not represent an increase in sex hormone levels. Therefore, there is no need to worry about menopause. Menopause may not occur again until around the age of 55. You can have a gynecological examination once a year to closely monitor the function of the ovaries.
