Depends.: If you remove the uterus an ovaries it will put you in menopause if you are not already in menopaus. This is a major surgery and will take time to recover, up to 8 weeks. Best if done vaginally unless there is cancer or other reason to perform abdominally. Faster recovery, safer and less pain. (least invasive approach).

Hysterectomy: A hysterectomy with oophorectomy is removal of the uterus and the ovaries. You will not bleed anymore without a uterus and will go into menopause as your ovaries are the source of estrogen in your body.
