This is the companion discussion group for the Survivor's Guide to Surgical Menopause website. It takes time and experimentation, but we believe health and wellness are enhanced by developing specific strategies to cope with the hormonal upheavals of a hysterectomy with oophorectomy. For more information about hormones needs and how to meet them, check out our home website and our bookmark account. For women looking for support and information specific to the surgery and recovery itself, we recommend the Hysterectomy Toolbox.

This group exists to share information and experiences, but we do not prescribe or offer directive advice. What you read here is only suggestions for further research and thought, and may not apply exactly to your own personal needs. As always, you should discuss information you receive from non-professionals with your physician and arrive at your personal health strategies in consultation with him/her.
