I have had 3 major spinal surgeries within the last 3 years and I am going to have another one in Nov '03. I haven't had a period since May '03. I am 40 years old and I was wondering if I may have gone into menopause early because of these surgeries. The only other symptom is constent sweating but I could account for that by the pain pills I have to take.
Can surgery bring on early menopause is the question I need answered?
