I just turned 40 and am experiencing hot flashes is it menopause?

Hermine

I had a partial hysterectomy at the age of 28 for fibroid tumors. I already had 4 kids, and had been suffering for a couple of years. I turned 40 just 2 months ago, and have been having hot flashes for about 6 weeks, is it menopause or something else? We don't have medical insurance, so going to the doctor to run the normal test for menopause is not an option.

It just may. Take 800 or 1,000 IU of Vitamin E a day. See if it works, after a few days. Good luck

I'm going to school to be a medical assistant, and we learned that women who have hysterectomies, tend to start menopause early. There's also pre-menopause that women can go through as early as in their 30's. My mom is 43 and is going through menopause. she also had a partial hysterectomy. I think it is very likely that you're going through menopause.

If you are over than 40 , it can be menaupose symptoms but at 40 you still be young and can give children again. Not sure! check : http://www. menopauseandweight. com see that site you can read and perhaps you will find an answer. But what it's obvious, don't use hormonal replacement. Hope for you good health.
