background

I've had a hysterectomy 10 weeks ago - they removed my womb and my cervix. I was doing well on the sage and magnesium supplements until I returned to work. Now my hot flushes are worse than ever. At least every hour through the night and sometimes through the day as well. I stopped drinking coffee and eating chocolate so my thought is that the sweats are more to do with work stress. Unfortunately, I cannot leave work or change my job. Any other ideas would be appreciated

You won’t get the menopause the minute you turn 50! The average starting age is actually between 45 and 55 and it can often depend on a number of factors including hereditary, weight and health, however every single woman will have an individual menopause.
