“Post fallopian tube removal hot flashes?”
In early September of 2021, I had both my fallopian tubes removed for sterilization. Starting in December, I have been having hot flashes, irritability, insomnia, and other menopausal symptoms. I also have only had one light (only spotting) period for 3 days (not normal for me). I was wondering if the procedure could have caused these symptoms to happen.

There may be some disruption of blood supply. More than likely a hormonal
component. Happy to see you

Hi, removing your fallopian tubes should not cause these symptoms.
No
