Severe Hot Flashes At Night, Dry Skin On Hands And Feet With Peeling Skin. History Of Ovary Removal, TAH. Suggest
I had a TAH on June 17, 2013. I am 50 yr old and I also had my ovaries removed. I have severe hot flashes mostly at night and cannot sleep. I also have very dry skin on my hands and feet. The skin is peeling off. My mom is a breast cancer survivor and I DO NOT want to take any HRT. What other options do you suggest to help with my symptoms?

Hi, you have TAH, so there is definitely defeciency of estrogen, so you will have symptoms of menopause, the symptoms of menopause could be harmonal, and psychological, uccurance being 50- 50.
If you want to avoid H.R.T. you can try medicines of anxiety from a psychologist, which clears the symptoms ta a great extent. When actual defeciency starts you can have a second thought. Thank you.
