Dear Red Hot Mamas,
I have had a hysterectomy, how will I know that I have become menopausal?
Stacy
Dear Stacy,
Thank you for writing to Red Hot Mamas. To answer your question, you will either develop menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, sleep disturbances and vaginal dryness. You might discuss with your clinician about taking a blood test to measure your level of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol which can help confirm menopausal status.
Discussing your symptoms and hormone levels with your healthcare provider is important to understand your menopausal transition and consider options to support your health and well-being during this time.
