Brief Answer:
Get test serum FSH levels done
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I read your query and I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply
1. Since your ovaries are not removed it is important to understand if these are menopausal symptoms or not.
2. To differentiate menopause from anxiety I would like to get a blood test done called "Serum FSH".
3. This blood determines if these symptoms especially sweating are due to menopause.
4. Please send me serum FSH report so that I can advise further.
Regards
