I had a Partial Hysterectomy and Bladder Tack about 1 1/2 yrs ago. I am 2 months shy of 37 yrs old. Seems like now I cant handle stress at all. I have no sex drive and I use to love sex. I find myself making excuses as to why I cant have sex with my husband. I am getting so forgetful and have alot of brain fog. I have no energy. I have never had UTI's and within the past 4 months I have had 2. I never sleep all night. I have to get up to go to the bathroom then I lay there and think about everything that is wrong in my life. I use to never get Yeast infections now I have gotten 1. Sometimes when the kids get roudy I feel like just running and never looking back. This is just listing a few. Does anyone else out there have any of these symptoms. If so what are you doing for help? I have an App. to see my gyn in Oct. I wanted to have some clue as to what might be wrong with me so I can tell him. Does anyone think it is Pre-menapouse? Thanks

Are you having any problems with vaginal dryness?
I suffered from very severe vaginaly dryness..I was having so many yeast infections and if not yeast then urinary tract infections...My doctor sent me to a GYN doctor to find out the reason for all the infections...and besides that had urinary problems as well..Years ago had surgery to repair my bladder....was told it would help me with my urinary problems...it did not...
anyways am now using estradiol vaginal inserts ....Now it has only been a short while since I started using the inserts and I am alreday starting to beel better........
Good luck, hope you find some answers....

No, I haven't got vaginal dryness I have noticed that I am itching more. I am glad the inserts are working for you. I am just starting to think I am just losing my mind :-) Thanks for your reply.

Suggestion......When you go to the GYN doctor....it might be a good idea to tell them about your vaginal itching, so they can give you a complete physcial exam and also that you would like your hormone levels checked...(do not believe your mentioned you were on hrt meds or not) The reason I say this is, the first GYN I went to...only gave me cream for my dryness...and did not even exam me, down there...and I ended up going to another GYN which cost me more money,but with happier results....You want to be able to leave the doc's office feeling like you got the best care ever and all your questions answered.....It is a darn shame what us women have to go thru....
