How long could heat last after menopause?

Posted by dunbun13 @dunbun13, Jul 7 12:27pm

I had a complete hysterectomy at 40 and I am now 75. I still get overwhelming body heat that I can’t regulate. I have numerous Dr with no answers. Is this still related to Menopause? Anyone have this for this many years?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Women's Health Support Group.

Thank you.. I have Sjogrens so maybe that is the reason.

I, too, have this same experience. Full hysterectomy at 42, was on Estradiol for 15-18 years. My hot flashes were minimal in comparison to what some women go through. When I stopped the Estradiol I started having them but, not right away. I am now 64 and still get them, I attribute them to be associated with the hysterectomy and stopping the Estradiol but, I have never talked to my dr. about it.
