Anxiety attacks, depression, sweating, mood swings after complete hysterectomy. Possible reason?
human
Jst curious, I had a complete hysterectomy 2 years ago. I'm not on any hormones and was feeling ok up until about 2 months ago. Now I'm having anxiety attacks, depression, sweating all the time, mood swings, irritability, you name it I'm having it. Was wondering if drs are still giving hormone shots to make me feel better quickly instead of waiting for a pill to get into my system.

Hello.......  Thanks for your query. Hysterectomy leads to a deficiency of estrogen hormone that results in hot flushes or anxiety symptoms that you are describing. The treatment consists of either estrogen hormone replacement, SNRI group of drugs like venlafaxine and vitamine-E supplements/ primrose oil. Mood swings, irritability, depression and anxiety symptoms are all part of the hot flushes. Wish you speedy recovery.RegardsDr SundarPsychiatrist
