Hi,
Yes. I think hysterectomy can lead to these symptoms because you have reached menopause early due to hysterectomy, vitamin supplements containing isoflavones may be required for this condition along with hormonal support.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
