I had a total abdominal hysterectomy & BSO around 9 months ago. Massive complex ovarian cyst - there was strong suspicion of ovarian cancer but thankfully no malignancy.
My discharge meeting with gynaecologist was clear; no HRT due to extensive endometriosis found during hysterectomy.
I have been managing so far - pretty well. Hot flushes, disturbed sleep and very tired, but feel better without pain.
Issue now is my mood. I don't know whether I'm depressed or the moods are just part of menopause. Feel teary & I struggle to be interested in work etc. Feel foggy headed & forgetful. Overall, each day is a bit like walking through treacle.
Complications include fibromyalgia & B12 & folate deficiency. I am taking prescribed tablets for vitamin deficiency.
I am not sure what I am asking really...has anyone managed menopause naturally & had success with addressing symptoms without HRT? Thanks
