What Causes Mood Swings, Anxiety And Low Libido After A Hysterectomy?

Hello my name is Tina and I have a question about hormones and hysterectomies I had a partial hysterectomy last August. I was told as long as I kept my ovaries that hormone replacement wouldn t be needed. I dont feel like myself before the surgery. I get very emotional, anxious, my sex drive has even changed. Is this common and what should I discuss option wise with my gynecologist about...hormone replacement or menopause?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.I understand youe concern.
As long as ovaries are intact the estrogen secretion would continue as usual till menopause.
I feel Your,nervousness,anxiousness &emotions are due to psychological feeling of incompleteness.
As the time passes.. & you realize hardly any difference in life .. more over getting rid of the physical problems before hysterectomy .. this psychological symptoms would go away &you would start enjoying life.
So you need nothing but patience. positive attitude &efforts to restart happy life .Probably psychological counselling would hasten the process.
Thanks.
