Hysterectomy leaving one ovary
Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy leaving one ovary
hysterectomy
Hi! Here's all I know.... I have an endometrioma. It is on the ovary. So, as far as I know, since endometrioma's are in or on the ovary, you cannot have one if you've had a hysterectomy. That being said, maybe there are partial hysterectomies done that don't remove both ovaries, so then there could be a cyst. But that is a guess! I would look up hysterectomies. If there are partial ones done leaving behind an ovary, then an endimetrioma would be possible.
I have left only half of one ovary. The though of having a child have never crused my mind, But now i was at the ginecolgist and he toll me that its possible to take out som eggs from me, i wonder if that really its possible, its seems like surreal for me, at the same time im happy if i could do something like that.
The problm is that for one month ago i have start experienced som heats in my body and i find out that i have develop an early menopausy.
Are you leaving one ovary or none? If you don't have any ovaries, then I would take the uterus too. If you are keeping an ovary, you may want to leave the uterus. I had to have a total hysterectomy and oopherectomy due to ovarian cancer three years ago. I was 37 at the time. Dealing with the total lack of hormones has been terrible for me. I already have osteoporosis and I am 40.
I am 44 and know that having ovaries removed or failing is not good at my age, so worry that just leaving one ovary and having uterus removed the other ovary might not continue working. Hence why just ovary removal and leaving uterus seems better option in my mind, and gives my left ovary best chance of survival.
FOr information I cant take Birth Control pills, have tried zoladex (no good) and mirena is now removed.
I am scheduled for a hysterectomy(leaving right ovary) on January 4. I am just concerned that messing with my hormones will make my anxiety worse. I just wanted to know have any of you with anxiety and panic attacks had a hysterectomy and if so how did it go?
Hello Im new here, was just told last week that I have cysts on both my ovaries. Left one is causing lots of pain, has 4-5 on it. But the right one has at least 6 cysts, with less pain. I was tested for infection, thyroid and for ovarian cancer, all of those tests came back great. My options are 1. take left ovary and do nothing else 2. take left, do ablation. 3. take left, take uterus, leave rt ovary so i don't go through menopause. 4.
As far as I understand it, how it was explained to me when I had my hysterectomy many years ago, estrogen feeds the endometriosis, so since you still have one ovary, you can still have endometriosis if, as Annie said, they left even one small piece in there.
There should be no need for a hysterectomy. Fibroids are very common and usually don't need any sort of treatment. If you have heavy or irregular bleeding, that can be treated with medication. And if the fibroid is large and pressing on organs such as your bladder, there is a surgery to remove JUST the fibroid (myomectomy) thereby leaving your uterus and its many lifelong functions intact.
Most ovarian cysts resolve on their own.
My sister is a 45 postmenopausal female which is because of two much fibroid(30 pcs) did hysterectomy two days ago and one ovary removed , one ovary remained ,I need to know does this one ovary can support enough hormone(Estrogen ,progesterone) for her body and does she have menstrual cycle or no ?
C for my endometriosis and endometrial polyp, however the likelihood of coming back later for a hysterectomy and removal of the other ovary is pretty much guaranteed. He is not against removing the one affected ovary the uterous and leaving one ovary for hormone reasons (mom had stroke at 57 dad fatal heart attack at 57) so there is a hormone benefit of leaving the one ovary.
And because of my age of being 43 and not yet having gone through menopause they really want to conserve my ovaries not even by just taking one out and leaving one in they want to conserve both of them. But it isn't right or fair to me to be going through and having this much pain so often. They need to do something.
Like you, I was 49 years old. My gynecologist should have just removed the cyst or the one ovary but he removed everything (hysterectomy and oophorectomy). I have been suffering the many after-effects ever since (8 years). I aged 15 years by 4 months post-op. I am still horrified when I look in the mirror.
I am curious why your doctor isn't removing JUST the dermoid cyst and leaving your sex organs intact.
Question-- what is better in the long run? Just removal of the cyst via laparaoscopy, removal of ovary leaving one behind and my uterus so i don't go into menopause, which i am not in yet, or just get it over with and have a hysterectomy? I do not have any children and at my age, i'm not sure if I want kids or even have children. I am single, and have yet to find their father.
Anyone have some suggestions for me? I have a Dr's Appt this coming Tuesday in the a.m.

I had a hysterectomy 6 years ago, leaving my ovaries. For a few months now I've had ovary / pelvic pain and back ache. Hot flushes for a lot longer. I started hrt a week ago, but my pelvic / ovary pain is now dreadful. I have to take regular pain killers for it.
Is this awful ''period'' bloaty pelvic pain normal? Is it just my hormones on a roller coaster?!!
i am 33 now,had a complete ovary removed at 19,pregant at 21,then shortly after her birth i had another surgery on my remaining ovary leaving just a sliver and was told that it could die off at any time sending me straight into menopause which it has,i am now on hormones just recently bled for a few days making me think that maybe the ovary has grown back,can that happen?and if so does that mean i might have a chance at getting pregant again?
About 18 years ago I had a hysterectomy because of Endometriosis. They removed uterus, cervix, left ovary and both fallopian tubes. All they left me was my right ovary. For a few years now I been having problems with a mass on my right ovary. It measures 5 x 6 cm. I have alot of pain, the even makes my right pelvis bone hurt, the pain goes into my groin and down the front of my leg. My groin also has a large lump in it.
I had alot of the same problems you had and finally had a hysterectomy with them leaving my only normal ovary intact. That pain was during my cycle only and it got so bad I had passed out sheet white with pain, it was like my uterus was in one long 3 day contraction.
Why are they leaving the other ovary if this one may be precancerous? When I was 40, (25 yrs go), my GYN left the one ovary which did not have cysts, and now I'm dealing with OVCA. He didn't want to put me into premature menopause. Please have a serious discussion with your doctor and if you're not satisfied, get another opinion. Please come back and let us know what he says, there's not emergency and you have time to check this out.....
At this point my Dr is recommending a partial hysterectomy and would leave at least one ovary. However due to both my own medical history and that of my family the idea of leaving the offending organs in place seems to me not to be a good idea. I'm fine with HRT my mother has had it ever since her hysterectomy and is now 80 yrs old with no health problems. She says she would never do anything different.
