A member asked:
I may have to have a hysterectomy. is there any advantage to keeping 1 ovary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At age of 37 the : Advantage of keeping an ovary is that you will not go through menopause immediately after your surgery. If the hysterectomy is not for cancer treatment and you are not at high risk for ovarian cancer in the future, it may be better to keep the ovary so you do not experience premature menopause ( usually women go through menopause around 52 yo).
