Hormone Levels After Hysterectomy: Do You Need Replacement Therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) need depends on hysterectomy type:
- Total hysterectomy (uterus + ovaries removed): No estrogen/progesterone production; HRT needed for menopause symptom management.
- Subtotal hysterectomy (uterus removed, ovaries intact): May still produce hormones, but HRT may be needed if levels are low.
Your doctor will recommend the best treatment based on your individual circumstances.
