Hysterectomy combined with pelvic floor repair - Booked - will symptoms be similar to Zoladex - advice needed!!!

Hi guys,

I'm 36 and have been on zoladex for the past 9 months.

I've made the decision to have a hysterectomy along with recommend pelvic floor repair.

I was wondering if anyone out there had been on zoladex before their hysterectomy and if the menopause symptoms where similar after or worse?

Im worried itll be worse than now - hot flushes/interrupted sleep etc....

Also wanted to know recovery? how people found it?

have a look on instagram and search for surgical menopause. Sadly the truth is that surgical menopause is supposed to brutal due to your age. I’m 48 and on HRT patch with zolodex. Waiting for a laparoscopic total hysterectomy date.

I think this can just be a journey to finding the right HRT and many women have done it and so it can be done. I’m so sorry to be quite the bringer of bad news. But I wanted to be honest. Look for some good insta accounts to see a cross section of experiences maybe? Hugs and love to you 💛💐💞🫶🏻

Hi,I was on zoladex prior to full abdominal hysterectomy and am now almost 6months post op. My menopause symptoms have been no worse than on zoldex. The hot flushes are bad at night, but I would take that over the pain, bleeding and everything else before the op!

Honestly if you are doing ok on the zoladex don't overthink it, your body should already be in full menopause and I noticed no difference after the op menopause wise.

Hope that helps x
