See GYN MD: You need to see a GYN MD who can do a blood test to see if the remaining ovary is still functioning. If no,t hormone replacement therapy(HRT) can be initiated. If systemic HRT is given prior to the functioning remaining ovary ceasing natural production, it will "shut down" that production prematurely.
