Horrible Night Sweats, Hot Flashes, Depressive Symptoms. Done Hysterectomy In The Recent Past. Help?
I had a hysterectomy March 2011, my FSH is 11.5 but I have horrible night sweats most nights, hot flashes at times and depressive symptoms. I have gone to my OB/GYN. Endocrinologist , and general physician all of whom say I m not menopausal and it must be something else. I am SO frustrated by the lack of knowledge...help?!

Hi,
The hot flashes with no connection of menopause ,can have an origin from some pitutery problems.
As you say menopause is excluded .I would advice consultation of an endocrinologist for pituitary assessment
AnOther possibility is psychological assumption.A sitting with councellar will remove the miss understanding ,to alleviate the problem.
Thanks
