A member asked:
Why should i be concerned about ovarian cancer after cesarean hysterectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: If you had that , which is uncommon, they most likely left your ovaries in. At the time of the hysterectomy they should have seen both ovaries and if anything was abnormal with either of them, they would have removed them. Your risk , assuming you have no other risk factors ( like a family history ) should be the same as anyone else.
