a. Only the uterus was removed, and the ovaries are still producing estrogen and she will not have hot flashes.
b. The patient is too young to have hot flashes associated with menopause.
c. The uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes were removed, and she will have surgically induced menopause and may have hot flashes.
d. The uterus and fallopian tubes were removed, and she will not experience “hot flashes.”
