Women Who Undergo Surgical Menopause May Be More Likely To Experience Insomnia, Report Lower Quality Sleep,

reports that “women who have surgery to remove their ovaries go through menopause abruptly, and” research “suggests this comes with an increased risk for the kinds of sleep troubles many women experience when they go through menopause gradually.” Investigators found that “women who underwent surgical menopause were more than twice as likely to experience insomnia and reported lower quality sleep compared with women who went through natural menopause.” The findings were published online in Menopause. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-women-menopause/sleep-problems-may-be-worse-when-menopause-is-hastened-by-surgery-idUSKBN1OC2YU
