Surgical Menopause
Premenopausal women who have both their ovaries removed surgically experience an abrupt menopause. They may be hit harder by menopausal symptoms than are those who experience it naturally. Their hot flashes may be more severe, more frequent, and last longer. They may have a greater risk of heart disease and osteoporosis, and may be more likely to become depressed. The reasons for this are unknown. When only one ovary is removed, menopause usually occurs naturally. When the uterus is removed (hysterectomy) and the ovaries remain, menstrual periods stop but other menopausal symptoms (if any) usually occur at the same age that they would naturally. However, some women who have a hysterectomy may experience menopausal symptoms at a younger age.

Frequency of Hysterectomy
Approximately 600,000 hysterectomies are performed each year in the United States at an estimated annual cost of more than $5 billion. More than one-fourth of U.S. women will have this procedure by the time they are 60 years of age. Hysterectomy is the second most frequent major surgical procedure among reproductive-aged women. From 1980 through 1993, an estimated 8.6 million U.S. women had a hysterectomy.

The rates of hysterectomy per 1,000 women aged 15 years and older declined slightly from 1980 (7.1) to 1987 (6.6). From 1988 to 1993, the average annual rate was stable at 5.5. The decline observed from 1987 to 1988 is a result of changes in the survey used to collect the data.

Women at High Risk for Hysterectomy
From 1980 through 1993, rates of hysterectomy differed by age. Each year, rates were highest among women aged 40–44 years and lowest among women aged 15–24 years.
Of all hysterectomies, 55% were among women aged 35–49 years.

Hysterectomy rates also differed by geographic region.
From 1988 through 1993, almost twice as many women received hysterectomies in the South (6.8 per 1,000 women) as in the Northeast (3.9). The average annual rates were 5.5 in the Midwest and 4.9 in the West.

During 1980–1993, the average age of women who had a hysterectomy was 47.7 years in the Northeast, 44.5 in the Midwest, 44.0 in the West, and 41.6 in the South.
Annual rates did not differ significantly by race.

Surgical menopause symptoms can be relieved by using MACA750™. In the absence of ovaries and/or a uterus, MACA750™ encourages the body to produce hormones from the adrenals and adipose tissue. The usual beginning serving size is 5 capsules a day until hot flashes, night sweats and other symptoms are gone. Then users can begin reducing the serving size by 1 capsule a week until they are still comfortable on 1-3 capsules a day.
