Do you still need to get your hormone level even after hysterectomy?

It depends on the type of hysterectomy you have had and the extent of the surgery. If you have had a total hysterectomy, which means that both the uterus and ovaries have been removed, you will no longer produce estrogen or progesterone, and you will need to take hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to manage symptoms of menopause. If you have had a subtotal hysterectomy, which means that the uterus has been removed but the ovaries have been left intact, you may still produce some hormones, but you may still need to take HRT if your hormone levels are low. Your doctor will recommend the best course of treatment for you based on your individual circumstances.
