Return To Menopause FAQ Archive   What is induced menopause? Answered By Macy Waltersson and Brian Laing, Editors Induced menopause is otherwise known as surgical menopause. Women who had their ovaries removed surgically experience this. Induced menopause can also be a result of damaged ovaries due to radiation or medications that is used in chemotherapy. There is a hormonal in-balance due to the loss of ovarian hormones resulting to menopausal symptoms, including hot flushes, vaginal dryness, and night sweats. Women who had hysterectomies (the uterus is removed but not the ovaries) don't experience induced menopause because the ovaries still produce hormones. keywords: Menopause | Menopausal | Perimenopause | Ovaries | Hormones Adrenocorticotropic Hormone
