I had everything removed. Along with Endo I had many other problems, so everything was taken. The doctor gave me absolutely no guidance for what to expect or do for menopause. I’m having terrible night sweats, hot flashes, and been really depressed. Not sure if any of that has anything to do with menopause. Doc still won’t give me any suggestions other than black cohosh. I know everyone’s different but any advice would help. Thank you in advance

Ok what?? Your doctor won’t give you any hormones? Your hormones need to balanced out. I started the second day after surgery having menopause & your right-it is awful. My doctor put me on Nortrel. (It’s basical a birth control pill) It has progestin & estrogen in it. Before I got those in my hands she was giving me a shot of to help. The shot helped & now doing the pills-it has helped as well. I also take black cohosh just because I read an article about it & my girlfriend was telling me about it.
But you need something-that’s BS!! Demand something & if they don’t find a new doctor.
Thinking of you!!!💛

Yes you should of been given some kind of hormone pill. I take estradiol & provera together & have been since my total hysterectomy. You will feel much better if they give you some sort of hormone pill. I know everyone is different but they can't expect you to do this cold turkey. Even with the hormones I still have occasional night sweats. I'd be on there case about that. they should know better. I would find another dr. Look on F.B. Nancys Nooks. They have a list. Best of luck to you.

Find another dr. This one doesn't seem very thorough.

Thank you guys so much. It’s been at least 6 months sense my surgery. I had a lot of questions when I went in and nothing was answered. I left with more questions and a lot of frustration. Along with my Endo, I had numerous tumors removed, and my last ovary. I had everything else removed 6 years ago. The only thing they said was “it’s not cancer, here is your tissue report”.
