Yes that’s what the consultant said tbh… if they offer anything take it! Yes I am post menopause but having dreadful night sweats, which I never had before… anyone else had similar issues after hysterectomy? Have a fab bank holiday Monday x

I had night sweats for a few weeks after my hysterectomy in 2013. I kept my ovaries but it still sent my body into a spiral hormonally as I was only 30. They did settle down though. Hope yours do too!x

Thanks hun, I am taking supplements that may help but so weird as wasn’t expecting it!  

I am sadly a little older than that…

I've been post menopausal for 3 years now, and my hot flushes and night sweats had already started to settle down. As well as the dermoid cyst, I chose to have my ovaries and fallopian tubes removed, and wondered if my symptoms would reappear. I actually think they're even less noticeable than before, so I'm quite relieved about that. On the other hand, every time I forget something or look in the mirror and see more crows feet around my eyes, I automatically blame it on having no ovaries anymore! My husband finds it most amusing and keeps saying "is that because you've had your ovaries removed?"

I didn’t really suffer at all when I went thru the menopause but since Steve was removed it’s something else! The heat is awful not helped by the warm nights! I will see what I can find naturally on dr Google and that! My hubby wants me to get a noob job now as I have list 16kg since this started … mostly boobs… men eh!!

An update on my not so little friend had my consultant appt was referred to the MDT who have decided I need a CT scan with contrast no explanation why just got a call to book an urgent one whilst I away which I can’t do. The poor girl booking me in couldn’t answer my questions. The consultant I saw made it sound so simple but now I am wondering what the experts have seen on my ultrasound and mma is  more oF a concern than they are letting on. My CA125 is 42. Either way Gemma at nearly 9cM has to be removed surgically they can’t leave it in. I am freaking out on holiday now why a CT not MRI CT sounds so much more serious. God why is this happening to me I have my sons wedding in 9 months

It's reasonable to be upset. Mine was over 10 cm with similar ca125 but it wasn't cancer. They treated me to both MRI with contrast and CT with contrast. I think they can see different things clearer on each type. It wasn't cancer for me and I hope it won't be for you. Deep breaths, you've got this x

I think you're still more or less following the same path that I was on, and you'll continue to be treated as urgent until they've had a good look at everything. I don't think you should read too much into the decision to do a CT scan rather than an MRI. Either method will give them the same information, but what I do know is that a CT scan costs less than an MRI scan, so maybe that's the reason. X
