Q: hysterectomy leaving ovaries at 38 years old - will ovaries continue to live until natural menopause age? is there a chance they will fail immediately or early?

: The natural course of events is ovarian survival until natural menopause. The eggs are release but have no ware to go and are reabsorbed/recycled by the body.

The ovaries will continue to function and make hormones. They make eggs also but those have no where to go and get resorbed in tissue.
