I'm 49 and I recently underwent a hysterectomy in June of 2010. Ever since, I've been experiencing several symptoms that I thought were only for women going through menopause. Hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, mood swings, you name it. Being that I no longer have a uterus or ovaries, am I still a candidate for hormone replacement therapy?

Women who have undergone hysterectomy may benefit from BHRT
The best time to start taking an estrogen regimen is within the first 3 years of menopause. This gives better bone and cardiac protection because it is taken for a longer period of time. It is best to start immediately rather than waiting for a problem to develop.
