Hysterectomy

A hysterectomy is the surgical meaning for removal of the uterus. After a hysterectomy, you will no longer have your period or ovulate and can also no longer get pregnant, thus thrusting you into menopause. Menopause elicits many hormonal imbalances in the body and can lead to hot flashes, periods of sadness, hair loss, and irritability to name a few, but hormone replacement therapy can work to ease your symptoms.
