Most women expect to enter menopause naturally, but there are two other common ways this can occur. Of course, if you have a hysterectomy and your surgeon removed your ovaries, as well as your uterus, this is a no-brainer. However, what if you just had your uterus alone removed, or if you had a tubal ligation? You may not expect this to happen. Ask yourself: do you now feel worse than you did before the procedure?
Natural menopause is the point when the ovaries stop releasing eggs, causing the complete cessation of menstrual periods. It is defined as the time when there has been no menstrual period for 12 consecutive months. As women reach menopause, their naturally occurring sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone) decline, often leading to the following symptoms: hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, low libido, brain fog, fatigue and difficulty sleeping. Learn how estrogen resolves the symptoms of menopause and improves women’s health.
1. Hysterectomy
A hysterectomy is often referred to as surgical menopause. Unlike natural menopause, surgically induced menopause causes an immediate decline in progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone production, rather than the natural, gradual decline that occurs in these hormones over the years. As a result, a woman will feel a dramatic change in her body as she experiences the symptoms of rapid hormonal decline.
But what if you left your ovaries in tact? The blood supply to your ovaries is still compromised. They may or may not function as well as they used to.
We often hear women say that they just don’t feel like themselves anymore. It affects your general well-being and overall health, and we want to share how you can keep that from happening so you can have a great quality of life. Discover what happens to your hormones after a hysterectomy.
2. Tubal Ligation
Having a tubal ligation is one of the most common procedures done by women to prevent pregnancy. If you’ve had your tubes tied, you probably didn’t expect to feel much differently afterwards. However, many women often feel much worse.
The reason we want to address this is because it affects your hormone production and balance, and can have devastating effects on your health. While not all women will necessarily be put into premature menopause with this procedure, you need to know that it is possible. Find out what having your tubes tied can do to your hormones.
As you can see, there is a lot to consider before having a hysterectomy or tubal ligation since those procedures can affect your hormones.
Besides eating a healthy diet, avoiding processed and fast foods, and exercising regularly, we believe that restoring your hormones with bioidentical hormones is crucial for conquering those menopause symptoms and maintaining optimal health.
