I do not know if I ever went through menopause, but I am now 51 years old. The past three weeks I have been experiencing a burning sensation in the left groin area. It is not painful, just constant, and annoying. Is this anything like having a hot flash? </P> <P>Claudia </P> <P>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</P> <P><STRONG>Answer:</STRONG></P> <P>It may be. Having your uterus removed doesn’t immediately trigger menopause, although women who’ve had a partial hysterectomy sometimes start menopause a few years earlier than other women. What you are describing may be a symptom of menopause, but it could be something else. You should make an appointment with your doctor. </P><img src="http://www.menopauseinsight.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=114168" width="1" height="1">menopause symptomshysterectomyovaries removed
