What Causes Hot Flashes And Fatigue With Weight Gain With History Of Hysterectomy?
I had a complete hysterectomy in spring of 2009 and began HRT right away. I am currently taking .9 mg Premarin per day and have recently been experiencing hot flashes, irritability, fatigue, and weight gain. I am concerned about increasing hormone dosage because I experienced significant weight gain years ago when taking birth control. Since I have no idea of hormone combinations or amounts in the respective therapies I don t have any basis for comparison. I need something to change but additional weight gain would greatly depress me.

Hello,
It is due to hormonal changes and lack of estrogen. Consult a gynaecologist and get evaluated. You might require hormone replacement therapy.
