A member asked:
How much earlier is the onset of menopause after having a unilateral oophorectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may not be earlier than for some one with two ovaries. One ovary can make all the hormones needed in the pre-menopausal state. Ovary is controlled by the Pituitary gland.
