Common Questions and Answers about Hysterectomy keep my ovaries
hysterectomy
I am scheduled to have a hysterectomy soon. The doctor wants to take my ovaries. My mom and both of her sisters have had hysterectomy's. My mother and 1 aunt had early onset of Alzheimers. both took premarin. I have read and studied that HRT's like premarin have a high risk of dementia and heart disease? since my dad had heart disease and most of his siblings and family have had heart problems I am worried.
I have Endometrosis and also prolapsed Uteris.
Would you keep or remove your ovaries when having a hysterectomy? I'm coming to the end of menopause.
Above poster is correct if ovaries have cysts that keep returning, endometrial tissue adhearing them to other organs, these are reasons for removal...otherwise its in your best interest to preserve.
One thing to think about is if ovarian cancer runs in family,,you should discuss with Dr as its very difficult to detect ovarian cancer with out uterus/cervix...until its usually stage 4 and that is bad.
My doctor says there is no medical reason ot keep the ovaries and no medical reason to remove them. It is totally my choice. I finished(?) menopause at 51 . I am now almost 59. I need to decide whether to keep the ovaries or have them removed. My family does not have a history of ovarian cancer. A few relatives have had breast cancer but not close relatives. What do you think I should do?
To all women out there facing Hysterectomy.
KEEP YOUR OVARIES. The doctors get more money form doing the full surgery. Unless your ovaries are diseased to the point that they look precancerous, keep them. Your body will go through the process of menopause so much more smoothly if you keep your ovaries. And if you decide this is the way to go, STIPULATE ON PAPER that you want to keep them. As i was rolled into surgery, i demanded to keep mine, unless huge problems were found.
t have a choice of having my ovaries removed. I had large suspicious masses on both, and my gyn onc said they had to be removed. I was so torn, but decided I couldn't stand the not knowing what was growing on my ovaries. I had quite a mess in there and am so looking forward to feeling good once I get my hormones under control. I am already happier today, on the road to recovery. Have they suggested you need your ovaries removed? If so why?
Your ovaries provide hormones that keep you in the reproductive stage of your life. When the ovaries slow down or stop functioning (as in a total hysterectomy) then you go into menopause. I am in menopause and dealing with hot flashes daily. My sister had chemo and radiation for breast cancer. Chemo targets fast growing cells which includes cancer cells, ovaries, and hair (which explains why you go bald). She is now in full blown menopause.
So He wants me to have a hysterectomy, which I agreed to do. My question is; should I keep my ovaries or ovary (becasue He stated that one was very small) or should I have them removed? The Doctor said that I would be going through menopause more then likely in a couple of years anyway and it would be safer to have them removed due to the chances of ovarian cancer. But I understand that if you keep them you do not need to go on hormone replacement. I am not sure what I should do?
My sister had a hysterectomy 13 years ago, since then she has been given incorrect diagnosis of everything from MS to spondulosis, she had a stroke, has glaucoma, constant headache, poor mobility and balance.
I am 44 years old & due to have a hysterectomy on January 6, 2011 due to a large fibroid & my doctor asked if i also wanted my ovaries removed. She said she usually recommends women who are 45 or older to have the ovaries removed because of the time frame of being close to menopause but its totally up to me. has anyone else had this done...had your ovaries removed along with your uterus & how did you handle the surgical menopause.
My surgeon is a specialist in endo, so should I trust her? she wants to keep both ovaries but remove the uterus. if i keep ovaries wont i keep ovulating and it keep hurting? she said my tubes are clogged up with old blood too which is what might be causing alot of the pain. maybe i should just have my cysts removed?
Oh my! I had a totally unnecessary hysterectomy as well as oophorectomy / ovary removal and the effects have been beyond devastating. I have since learned that ~90% of these surgeries are unwarranted and that we need our uterus and ovaries our whole lives. I see some red flags with these doctors but not with your u/s report (findings look normal). Unfortunately, hysterectomy is so lucrative for doctors and hospitals so it is heavily "marketed.
I recommend you go see a more astute doctor. There are too many unnecessary hysterectomies. Absolutely you should keep your ovaries, and if you decide the removal of your uterus is called for you should look for a surgeon who has good results removing the uterus without compromising the ovaries. If you are not having problems with your fibroids, I'd wonder what the issue is.

I am 48 and had a hysterectomy last June. I chose to keep my ovaries as my doctor suggested it helps with hormones. It is a personal choice, but ask your doctor the pros and cons of both choices. They should be able to walk you through both decisions. I am glad I chose to keep mine.
I had my ovaries removed...as well as my uterus....biggest regret! I also have had both a vaginal pop repair sutures only...as well as a Robotic-assisted laparoscopic mesh sacrocolpopexy...not all at once...first the hysterectomy with ovaries removed...for endometriosis...which it DID NOT cure! then I had the other surgeries...thanks to endo and taking out my organs...my pelvic floor structure is so weak...and I am now 8 abdominal/pelvic floor surgeries in...
Hi I am 34 years old I have 1 child and 4 years ago I had a hysterectomy but they left my ovaries since then I have been getting cyst on both my ovaries ranging from 2 centimetres up to 9. I had one removed from my left ovary which was cancer-free. I am going to go see my Dr on Friday my question is do any of you think I should just tell him to take both my ovaries out and how long do any of you think I will have to stay in the hospital.
Has anyone had or heard of anyone that has had a partial hysterectomy (cervix, uterus and tubes removed-ovaries left) instead of a tubal? I have heard so many horror stories of heavy periods after a tubal, and mentioned that concern to my OB/GYN. I currently use the Nuvaring, but we are sure we are finished having kids, and I would like to get off hormones (I get the automatic 5lb weight gain). My OB/GYN recommended the partial hysterectomy.

Sometimes a hysterectomy includes removal of one or both ovaries and fallopian tubes, a procedure called total hysterectomy with salpingo-oophorectomy.
Abdominal hysterectomy usually requires a hospital stay of one to two days, but it could be longer. Don't lift anything heavy for a full six weeks after the operation and also avoid strenuous exercise and intercourse for 6 weeks after the operation.
