Brain Fog after a Hysterectomy? Here's why.

If you feel terrible after a hysterectomy but your labs come back “normal,” it may not be in your head. It may be in your hormones—specifically progesterone and how your brain responds to it.

• Progesterone receptors are throughout the brain—not just the uterus/ovaries
• Progesterone supports protective nerve functions and healthy signaling
• Progesterone plays a role in mood regulation and reducing anxiety
• Progesterone supports sleep—so drops can show up as insomnia
• After hysterectomy, progesterone can drop while symptoms get dismissed as “just menopause”
• Brain fog, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and memory issues can overlap with hormone deficiency
