Need no worries: The hormones are being produced by ovaries and not by uterus or tubes other source is adrenal glands so you do not have to worry about it . Keep you regular follow up with your OB gyn.

Ovaries provide: The ovaries provide all the hormones that make you a woman. The tubes are just that, tubes. And the uterus is really just a vessel for holding a pregnancy. No hormonal production at all. While studies have shown that hysterectomy can reduce blood flow to ovary which can affect hormones, most women notice no changes in their hormones after hysterectomy. If you do notice changes, see md.
