5. Generally, once the ovaries are removed

you get instant menopause (and then don't go through menopause at the typical time).

My mom had a hysterectomy, but kept her ovaries. For years she could track when she would have had periods - and went through they typical menopause.

If you had them both out, I'd check with a doctor. It does sound like menopause (personal mini tropical vacation - all the time). But since you don't have the body parts that would cause it (and other chronic health problems), if I were in your shoes I'd want it checked out.
