Thank you for your question and welcome to Empowher. It is not that uncommon to start menopause after this surgery as your ovaries are removed. Did your doctor talk to you about possible menopause?
Since you are 49 years old, the surgery may speed up the process. It appears that you are having symptoms with the vaginal dryness also. If you have any concerns, certainly make a follow up appointment with your treating physician.
