Hysterectomy with surgical menopause: what to expect and how to prepare

When your ovaries come out with your uterus, you don't ease into menopause — you arrive there overnight. And most women are sent home with a discharge sheet that doesn't say a single word about it. This video changes that. In this video, a pelvic floor physical therapist and women's strength coach covers what active women facing hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy need to know about surgical menopause — from the conversations to have before surgery, to the symptoms that show up in the first weeks, to how to advocate for the hormone support that should be part of every care plan. This isn't fear-based content. It's the information that lets you walk into surgery with a plan instead of scrambling to figure it out on the other side. What we cover: → The difference between surgical menopause and natural menopause → The pre-surgery conversation about hormone therapy you need to have (not after) → Symptoms to expect in the first 12 weeks — and which ones need attention → Sleep, mood, and cognitive changes that often get misdiagnosed → Bone, heart, and metabolic health considerations → Strength training as non-negotiable in this season — not optional → How to build a care team when your surgeon and primary care aren't enough → The reframe: this is a transition you can prepare for, not an emergency you survive FREE RESOURCE Download the free Active Woman's Hysterectomy Readiness Guide — Checklists 1 and 2 cover the questions to ask before surgery, including the hormone conversation: woven.fit/readiness ABOUT WOVEN Woven is a women's health and strength coaching practice specializing in hysterectomy and prolapse repair recovery.
