A member asked:
What are the pro's and con's of getting a total hysterectomy ( leaving ovaries in)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complicated issue : This is a fairly complicated topic that requires a long discussion that must be individualize from person to person. In general if there is nothing wrong with the ovaries and that was not the reason for hysterectomy then ovaries are left. This avoids the physical changes that the accompany surgical menopause
