[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a complete hysterectomy at 38 because I had no choice.  I would give anything to have my overies back.  Hormone replacement therapy is not the same.  And I only took estrogen for two years.

[b]I instantly aged.[/b]  I'm 47 now with osteoporosis and because of that, arthritis.  My skin has aged much faster.  I am anxious and often depressed. I just feel old.  Every single doctor has said these changes (and many others) were directly related to early menopause.

It's not as easy as many people seem to believe.[/quote]

This. I know two women who had to get hysterectomies in their 30s and they both aged 10 years instantly. Its so hard on your body to unnaturally loose all those hormones and try and find a "therapy" to replace them isn't as easy as popping some pills. [/quote]

OP yet again. This is helpful to know. I had a supervisor who had it done in her 30s, but she wasn't going to tell me this sort of thing. I have several family members who had it done as soon as they reached menopause and it does seem much easier on the body then.[/quote]
