Menopause After Hysterectomy: You’re Questions Answered
In this episode of Gyno Info Frank Talk, I sit down to answer a really important listener question about what menopause looks like after a hysterectomy. It’s something I get asked often, and I’m always glad to clear up the confusion.
I walk listeners through how we identify and manage menopause when the uterus has been removed but the ovaries are still in place. I explain the difference between natural menopause and surgical menopause, what symptoms you might notice, and how your body changes during this time. Most importantly, I talk about why it’s so essential to rely on accurate medical information rather than guesswork or myths.
I also touch on hormone replacement therapy—what it is, who it may help, and why talking with your healthcare provider is key to finding the safest, most effective plan for you.
