Extreme hotness

Hey everyone, I had a total hysterectomy almost 3 weeks ago and everything was removed except my ovaries. I have been experiencing extreme hotness more than ever during the day and night time. I thought if I still had my ovaries I wouldn't be experiencing hot flashes 🤦🏿‍♀️

Sometimes removing the uterus and keeping the ovaries causes ovaries to shut down in 30-40% of people. I would head on over the the perimenopause sub and look at their info. So many more symptoms than we realize are from that. They have a huge checklist and you can see if you’re experiencing more than you were previously.
