Here are some ...: The sex hormonal regulation of ovaries after menopause largely ceases and render ovaries functionally useless. Besides, at times, these "nonfunctioning" ovaries may develop unwanted tumor/cancer although rare but maybe casting diverging views among surgeon. So, it's okay to remove them as long as you understood such controversy. Remember: Behind what we know always hides a lot what we don't know.
