Hysterectomy with Oophorectomy
A hysterectomy with oophorectomy means that the ovaries are removed during the procedure. The ovaries are responsible for releasing estrogen. After the removal, therefore, women may experience symptoms of menopause. These include weight gain, irritability, mood swings, sleeping issues, vaginal dryness, night sweats, hot flashes, dry skin, hair loss, faster heart rate, bone loss, and incontinence. How long these symptoms last can vary from person to person. [2]
