Surgical menopause
If you have a total or radical hysterectomy that removes your ovaries, you'll experience the menopause immediately after your operation, regardless of your age. This is known as a surgical menopause.
Does a hysterectomy make you age faster?
The science. The majority of age-related health issues occur in people who have surgery to remove both ovaries, which is called an oophorectomy. A hysterectomy alone does not significantly impact hormones or aging.
When does menopause start after a hysterectomy?
When a surgeon removes the uterus, this is called a hysterectomy. If the surgeon removes both ovaries, menopause will begin immediately after the operation. If they remove the uterus, fallopian tubes, or both but leave one or both ovaries intact, menopause will probably start within 5 years.
