[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 186851, member: 1233"] Oh, the big cancer/heart attack risk is combined estrogen/progesterone hrt, using 1 or the other means a greatly reduced risk of cancer. As for sudden surgical menopause, I came out of the OR with an estrogen patch on. It kept me from going through the mess. I guess if I stopped the estrogen suddenly I would go through it, but as estrogen was started during the operation, I didn't ahve any problem - I mean not ANY. No mental fog (from that), no hot flashes, nuthin. So ask the doctor to do that. Every hospital shoudl have those patches in the pharmacy. Make sure you like and trust your doctor. I am very surprised, with your history of pcos, that they even offer the option of keeping the ovaries. If kept, the eggs have NO WHERE to go when "released", so I don't know if that would make the PCOS better. Seems it would make it worse. They took out the ovaries and everything else vaginally. No external scars. I also had no problems with sex after the operation (when I was cleared). using estrogen means that you don't get really dry or have other problems. [/QUOTE]
