Hysterectomy side effects?

by Rachel
(canada)

I had a vaginal hysterectomy 6 years ago (I was 28) and I've noticed that over the past 8 months or so that my body has been changing.

Facial hair, hair growth at an all time fast rate both on my head and legs.

So very tired all the time.

Less patience.

Low sex drive.

And a symptom I've yet to read so far... my breasts have been leaking.

I've always had a hard time keeping weight on and now I'm concerned that it's not that way anymore.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so what is or was the treatment you used to make things "better"?

I am the same, in all cases. However I have no sex drive and no desire. My big question is - how do I get my husband of three years to understand and be patient with all of this? As of now he isn't understanding at all... I do need help with this matter.
