Women’s Health after Ovary Removal and Early Onset Menopause
Hello out there to all of you brilliant and beautiful people. I truly hope this is appropriate on this platform, but here it goes! My question is about women and menopause and oophorectomy. Specifically My beautiful wife age 49 of 28 years. The major things she is suffering from are poor sleep, joint pain and stiffness, hot flashes, low energy, mood swings, anxiety, brain fog, very low libido, vaginal dryness and pain with intercourse. I have utilized this wonderful community, including an amazing consult with @Anthony Castore (highly recommend) and have totally turned around my own personal health journey. I’m 51 and in better shape and better health than I was when I was in my 30’s. My wife is suffering and I want to help her figure out how to feel as healthy and vibrant as I do. I tried to incorporate some of the things I’ve learned that helped me, but unfortunately when it comes to the opposite sex, things get messy, and I just don’t know enough about women’s health to giver her the right direction to head. I’ve talked with her about the importance of movement, sleep, nutrition, sunlight, heat, cold, and all of the foundational things I’ve learned about, but she complains that she’s so miserable she doesn’t have the energy or motivation to do even the simplest things. Some quick things about her background health. Tonsils removed at 27, hysterectomy at 30, 3 years ago diagnosed with massive ovarian cysts and at the advice of her OBGYN had her ovaries removed. She also occasionally gets nasty kidney stones. Also suffers from pretty extensive varicose veins in her lower legs from the knees down. Also has Occasional water retention and swelling in her ankles. Family history of autoimmune disease (father) I personally think the major issues have happened since her ovaries were removed and maybe symptoms of early onset Menopause. But I just don’t know what to think anymore. Current Supplements: Urolythin A D3 K2 (we live in the north with little sun)
