Hot Flashes After Kidney Donation

[mrscb1]

Hi, I am a 47 y.o. woman, I donated my right kidney 10 weeks ago. I never had a hot flash prior to surgery and the night after surgery I started to experience hot flashes. I knew this most likely was due to anesthesia and would need to allow time to leave by body. However, I am now 10 weeks post op and still experiencing more hot flashes day/night time. The hot flashes are causing me to have insomnia.

My surgeon stated, a nephrectomy would not cause an onset of menopause. My FSH levels showed I was in post menopausal stage. However, I have my hormone levels checked annually, and I wasn't in menopausal range prior. Moreover,I am interested if anyone else has ever experienced this outcome post nephrectomy. Thank you!
