If you still have your ovaries, you will still get symptoms of the period, you just won't bleed. You will still get bloated, have PMS etc etc.\nPhantom symptoms. Your brain doesn't know that part of your body is missing.

There are certain organs of the body that it is NOT WISE to mess around and delay seeing a doctor... and your uterus is one of them.  You could be going thru the start of menopause but it could also be something else... Call your doctor and explain to his triage nurse what you wrote here and see what the advice is... I would gather it is to make an appointment and get  yourself checked to rule out any serious conditions.  Good Luck... Signed... and RN

Most premenopausal women experience changes in their menstrual cycle. When estrogen levels begin to drop, the follicular phase of the cycle may be shortened, and this can shorten the total cycle from 28–30 days to 24–26 days, resulting in more frequent periods. On the other hand, some women begin having longer cycles because they are not ovulating as frequently. These changes can be quite different on an individual basis. Additionally, this declining/fluctuating estrogen level can produce a host of disturbing symptoms: hot flashes, increasing vaginal dryness, sleep problems, mood swings, breast tenderness and many other complications. \n\nThere is a relatively small number of women who hardly notice any changes before menopause. Their periods just stop overnight with few, if any, symptoms.\n\nAnother small percentage of women experience significant, dramatic symptoms that, when left untreated, ultimately lead to surgical intervention. Many women find at this time too many physicians strongly urging surgery and failing to provide information about the alternatives to, and consequences of, hysterectomy.

honestly, it is great you are going to a doctor, because he can confirm if you have a uterarian cancers or other diseases...don't get freaked out by that, but is always best to start with that, unless you have been sexually active, which means you could have had a miscarriage...if you haven't it is still a possibility that you are just having an abnormal period like before...i was a devout sprinter for years and this was a common occurrence for me, it is just your body reacting from the strain of the physical stress you are putting on it....but still confirm with your doctor, that will give you the best peace of mind

why the hysterectomy? leg pains can be anything from cramps, nerve impingement (spine) or arthritis.  You are relatively young so arthritis is unlikely.  If you had a hysterectomy because of danger of malignancy then it is best to look out for deep venous thrombosis.  Gynecological problems or cancer can cause the blood to be too thick or sluggish causing it to form tiny blood clots which may block your veins causing decreased blood flow.  This may be dangerous because these clots may be dislodge and in turn travel towards the arteries supplying your lungs causing pulmonary thromboembolism which can be fatal if massive.  Look for sign of swelling of the legs, redness, claudication or intermittent calf pain upon walking

It's not uncommon for menopause to begin this early, although it's usually a little later.  You may be pre-menopausal and have a few more irregular periods off and on for a couple of years.  Most women do not just stop having periods all of a sudden when they go into menopause -the periods usually start getting shorter and much farther apart.\n\nWork with your doctor on any treatment if you are having other symptoms of menopause.  A lot of doctors now are recommending herbal/natural treatments since hormones have been proven unsafe.  \n\nTo find out for sure, you should see your doctor and have them rule out any other possibilities as well.

Although I'd talk to your doctor, it shouldn't prevent your surgery.  Many doctors are completely comfortable doing a hysterectomy even during menstruation.  It really doesn't affect your chances of success and doesn't make it any harder for the doc.  Many women who come in for hysterectomies are bleeding for various reasons.  Just let your doc know your situation and let her decide.

You need to go see your gynecologist, because there  could be some  \nfibroid tumors, endometriosis, ovarian cancer and even uterus cancer.  That happen to me almost 4 years ago come January.  The first one was about 1/10 and the second one was about 1/21.  I went to my gynecologist and that June I had a hysterectomy, of course I had fibroid tumors.   Get checked out.  And to ease your mind a little a lot of females go through that change when your period is just changing cycles.

It sounds just like pms and regular periods that a woman with a uterus and ovaries would have.  It could be the hormones.  The same type of thing happens sometimes when you miss a birth control pill and have to double up or change pills.  Have you spoken with your doctor about it?  It could be a symptom of something serious.

I have had a Hysterectomy years ago but I was fortunate in that I did not have to be on Hormone pills for very long at all. However I was on Premarin for several years when I was younger and as far as I can recall--Yes! It did make me \nnervous and anxious.Also after the hysterectomy itself a woman can feel tense and nervous as a Hysterectomy does affect a woman's emotions alot.It acts kind of like Pregnancy  does to a woman's emotions as it does mess up your hormones alot. Maybe you need to mention it to your Dr. He may need to adjust your Premarin.\n I DO HOPE YOU DO GET THE HELP YOU NEED AND BEGIN TO FEEL MUCH BETTER!\n\n                                      EDDIE 2

I feel for you, until recently I had the same problem.  Just to function on a daily basis was almost impossible.  I'm not aware of an early menopause but you may be able to help your symptoms by giving up caffeine during your period..   If your pain is really that bad perhaps you should consult your doctor.  You might have options that could make things easier for you.  You may even have something like endometriosis.. I had a hysterectomy in the fall and let me tell you, I've never been so thankful.  I can function like a normal human being .. I still have ovaries so no menopause..

I had a Total Hysterectomy a year ago at 39.  It was like hitting a brick wall at 90 miles an hour with the hormonr change.  My surgery was at 7 AM and by 6 PM the Hot Flashes started!  Side effects...... WEIGHT GAIN....HOT FLASHES.....DEPRESSION....and LOSS OF SEX DRIVE.\n\nThose are the big four.  It sure is not fun.

It's not unusual to have changes in your menstrual cycle that are unique to your body and experoience, so it is probably idiopathic and benign.  Keep your appointment with the doctor though because it there is a problem behind it, it can be VERY serious.\n\nI hope you feel better soon.

Unfortunately, it sounds normal with the blockage and the recent hysterectomy and other surgeries.  Best wishes.

Sometimes when you are under a lot of stress your period lasts longer. Sometimes that happens to me. Or it could have been a miscarriage you didn't know about.
