menopause after hysterectomy kept ovaries?

• The ovaries may be "shocked" by the procedure and cease functioning earlier than anticipated, even if one or both ovaries are preserved post hysterectomy. This could indicate earlier menopause than typical, which could happen immediately after surgery or years later.
• This phenomenon is also known as "surgical menopause", and should occur within 5 years of operation.
• Your ovaries will continue producing hormones, but at reduced levels, even after hysterectomy. Click here to know how ovaries function after hysterectomy.
• Such people may experience premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) because hormones produced by the ovaries will cause their body to continue to "cycle" monthly. Additionally, menopause will bring its own set of symptoms.
