I wanted to interject that having a hysterectomy doesn't necessarily send you into menopause. I had mine a year ago, but he left an ovary for hormone reasons. I haven't had any symptoms of menopause yet because I still have one ovary that continues to cycle. I occasionally have symptoms of pms, but nothing like I was experiencing before the surgery.
My understanding is that I could hit menopause a little earlier than I would have otherwise because of the hysterectomy though.
