I was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) because of that and my family history I had a partial hysterectomy when I was 28 years old. The Dr took everything but my left ovary. Because of my age, he left it for natural hormones. I am now 34 years old, and am having symptoms of menopause (Night Sweats, trouble sleeping, mood swings) Is that possible?

Hello Anon

Thank you for writing!
It's entirely possible that your symptoms are due to your partial hysterectomy. While a full hysterectomy will put a woman directly into menopause, a partial will not. But it may cause perimenopausal (menopause lite) symptoms similar to what is happening with you.

Please talk to your doctor about your options - if you have no history of cancer, hormone replacement therapy may be suggested or natural supplements. You will need to have blood work done first, to see where your hormonal levels are.

We wish you the best - please keep us posted as to how things go.
Best,
Susan
