Ovary removal/HRT

I had to have one ovary removed a few weeks ago due to an abscess rupture. I'm now fit and well, but a few people have mentioned that I might need HRT; I've been feeling ok in that respect, I don't feel menopausal or anything, but my family say they have noticed that I'm a bit of a 'short fuse' now?? I've been told it may bring the menopause on very quickly/early. I'm almost 42 and not really felt any menopausal symptoms, apart from the odd night sweat. Would it be worth seeing my doc?

Megm, I'd say from experience, if you can have HRT, have it, even for a couple of years, I'm a great fan.

I had a full hysterectomy and both ovaries removed twenty years ago (I was a bit older than you), and went straight onto HRT patches - never had a symptom, never had any problems at all. My GP weaned me off them after about 10 years, and I've had no side-effects at all.
