If ovaries are in good condition, is it necessary to take them out if a hysterectomy is required?

Not always: Ovaries are often not removed during hysterectomy. Ask your surgeon.

No: It is not required to remove the ovaries if they are normal. If you have a family history of ovarian or breast cancer then it would be more recommended.
