A member asked:
Why do doctors sometimes do a partial hysterectomy instead of a complete one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ovaries: Partial hysterectomy commonly means the ovaries are left in place. There are a variety of functions the ovaries provide for health protection because of the hormones they make naturally. Ovaries are usually left during hysterectomy in women under 40, variable between 40-50. There are studies that show reduction in health when ovaries are removed in women over 50 as well.
